Description: | A cast copper-alloy thimble, probably dating to the 15th - 16th centuries.
The thimble is short and rounded with a rounded top. The indentations in the thimble are also round. The indentations have been arranged in columns, with two concentric rings around the top of the thimble. A parallel pair of engraved lines, run around the rim of the thimble.
This thimble appears to have been cast as one piece. The thimble does not thicken around the base.
The copper alloy survives in a very good condition and only some pitting has occurred. The rim is slightly damaged.
The finger opening has a diameter of 17.49mm. | 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
