Description: | A cast copper alloy sewing ring. The diameter of the top is 14.41mm and the bottom is 17.52mm. The rim at the top and bottomed is slightly thickened. There are six rows of circular indentations between the upper and lower rim. These appear to be very regular, indicating that the thimble was made in a mould. Approximately 30% of the lower rim is broken, the break is worn. The surface of the metal is mid brownish green in colour. This thimble dates to the post medieval period. | 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
