Description: | A cast copper-alloy thimble of probable mid 14th to mid 15th century AD date (E.F. Holmes; pp.1).
The object has become squashed and is in need of cleaning. It would originally have been of circular section and tapers towards a domed top section, which is stepped inwards slightly from the sides. Apart from a plain band at the bottom, which is defined by an incised horizontal line, the sides are entirely covered with closely-spaced rows of circular indentations. The top section is plain, apart from a single circular indentation at the centre.
In its current state, the thimble measures 17.4mm high, 23mm wide and 12.6mm thick. The weight (the cavity is filled with soil) is 7.96g. | 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: | 1350
