Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, probably dating to the 15th-16th centuries. The thimble is short and rounded with a rounded dome. The indentations in the thimble are circular. They have been arranged in a spiral around an incised square on the dome of the thimble.
This thimble appears to have been cast as one piece, although there is an area near the rim where the metal has been cut and folded over itself inside the rim. This could be a repair, or to shape the thimble into a circle. The thimble is slightly thicker around the base. There is a circumferential incised line below the indentations and above the rim. The thimble is in good condition and has a deep green patina. | 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
