Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, probably dating to the 15th-16th centuries. The thimble is tall and rounded with a rounded top. The indentations in the thimble are oval. The indentations have been arranged in a spiral. This thimble appears to have been cast as one piece. The thimble does not thicken around the base. The copper alloy is in fact very thin. It is worn and the metal has lost much of its original surface. Several holes have appeared in the copper alloy, where the metal has worn thin. The finger opening has a diameter of 20.32mm, though it is slightly bent. | 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
