Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, probably dating to the 17th century. The thimble is tall and narrow with a rounded top. The indentations in the thimble are square, creating a waffle like pattern. This thimble appears to be a two-piece thimble with the top and sides being soldered together. The thimble has a crack running from the base, to the joint where the top joins the sides. There is a thick rim around the base of the thimble. It is worn and the metal has lost much of its original surface. The finger opening has a diameter of 18.1mm. | 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: | 1600
