Description: | A closed or domed type cast copper alloy thimble. The diameter of the thimble is slightly larger at the base. The indentations appear to be hand-punched as they are slightly irregular. They are arranged in a long spiral starting at the base, which suggests a date after c. 1500. The spiral stops short of the centre of the dome, leaving a bare circular area, 6mm in diameter. This 'tonsure' indicates a date before c. 1650. | 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
