Description: | A complete silver thimble, with a height of 16mm and a rim diameter of 15mm. The rim is unthickened and the sides straight, the top is rounded. This thimble is very decorative with circular indentations on its sides in vertical lines and to its top in horizontal lines. On the side there is also a rectangular shaped panel containing two birds at either end with a space between them with the scratched initials? 'EB' within this space, above it are the letters 'GC.' This thimble is most likely to be early post-medieval in date, probably 16th or 17th century. It will be examined in more detail under the Treasure Act. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1540
