The thimble is of circular section, tapering from a maximum diameter of 18.6mm at the base to 16.3mm at the domed top. A plain band with a horizonal incision is located at the base of the outer face of the thimble, and apart from a small circular area at the top, the rest of the surface is entirely covered with rows of closely-spaced circular indentations.
The height of the object is 20.8mm, the thickness is 1.2mm and it weighs 7.2g. | 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
