Description: | Medieval thimble dating to the 14th (or 15th) century. The thimble is made of copper alloy and is short in height with slightly sloping sides to an almost hemispherical top. The rim of the thimble is unthickened and has a thin groove close to the edge. The indentations on the side of the thimble are small and circular and are arranged in a long spiral that continues over the curve up to the top of the thimble (giving the impression of rings of indentations around the circumference of the thimble). The centre of the top is fairly worn. The thimble weighs 8.06g and measures 18.74mm in height (length) and 19.7mm in diameter around the rim. | 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
