Description: | Copper alloy thimble of probable Post Medieval date (AD 1500 - AD 1800). Length 21.5mm, maximum diameter, at the rim, 21.5mm and 1.5mm thick. Weight 12.86g (inluding earth). The rim is not thickened and it is undecorated. The thick walls taper gently from the rim towards the crown which is slightly domed. The circular indentations on the walls and also on part of the crown appear to have been machine punched as they are very regular in size and form. The indentations are arranged in a spiral with 8-9 turns revolving in a clockwise direction from the rim upwards towards the crown. Dark brown patina with substantial areas suffering from bronze disease. | 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: | 1500
