Description: | A copper-alloy thimble, dating to the 15th - 16th century. The thimble is short with a rounded top. The indentations in the thimble are circular. The indentations have been arranged in a spiral. This thimble has been cast as one piece. The thimble does thicken around the base and there is a rim. It is worn and the metal has lost much of its original surface. The metal is a dark greyish-green colour.
