Description: | A medieval copper-alloy thimble probably dated to the 14th or 15th century. It is fairly short with slightly tapering sides and a pointed tip. The thimble has two grooves (one above the other) extending all the way around its base and above this are numerous punched dots applied in a spiral pattern. The point of the thimble is undecorated. Surface condition good. It measures 15.8mm in diameter, 12.5mm in height and weighs 3.3g. A similar thimble can be found in Ottoway, P. and Rogers, N. 2002.
