Description: | A medieval copper-alloy thimble of cast construction. The hand-drilled pits are arranged in a spiral of approximately eleven rows from the rim to the apex. It has been slightly squashed at the base. The thimble is fairly thick, possibly indicating it was designed for heavy duty work. Examples of heavy duty thimbles can be found in Holmes (1988). | 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
