Description: | The object is a late Medieval (1450-1550) thimble made from copper alloy. Holmes illustrates similar examples in figure 2b.
The thimble, in profile, has straight sides which taper slightly and it has a domed top which has a slightly pointed apex. The rim is circular in plan. From the rim you can see the thimble is made from one shell. On the exterior the rim is undecorated. The indentations are positioned in rows, close together. The indentations are conical shaped cells.
The surface of the thimble has a patchy green/grey coloured patina. The thimble measures 19.2mm tall, and 19.1mm diameter at the base. It weighs 6.15g. | 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: | 1450
