Description: | Incomplete complete copper alloy thimble of Medieval date, probably mid-fourteenth to mid-sixteenth century. Length 18mm, width 19mm and 1.2mm thick. Weight 4.59g. The rim is not thickened and it is undecorated. The thimble is slightly squashed and a small portion of the rim is broken and missing. This break is old. The sides taper towards the crown which is hemispherical although slightly pointed. Circular indentations are arranged in a spiral with 10-11 turns revolving in a clockwise direction from the rim to the crown. However, a small area at the top of the crown is not indented. The indentations vary in size and are not evenly spaced. Three of the indentations on the crown have pierced the thimble. There is a mid-green patina although there is some active corrosion. | 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: | 1350
