Description: | Complete cast copper alloy thimble. This object is circular in plan and domed in section. The circumference of the open end has a defined rim that appears unbroken. The object is worn, but the crown appears not to have a plain circular portion. Instead there is a hand punched dot at the very centre of the top, from which begins the concentric circles of similarly hand punched dots that continue all the way to the rim. The punched dots are of irregular size, and the pattern of rings is similarly not uniform. It is 19.82mm long, has a rim diameter of 20.44 and weighs 11.40g. It is similar to Holmes?s Heavy duty type A, and as such dates from the 15th to mid 16th century. | 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: | 1400
