Description: | Complete cast copper alloy thimble of Late Medieval or Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1400 - c. AD 1550). Height: 21.7mm; diameter 18.9mm and walls 1.8mm thick; weight: 6.1g. The thimble had slightly sloping sides and a steeply domed crown. The sides and crown are covered in hand drilled deep circular pits arranged in rows. There is a thickened plain band at the rim. Similar to Egan (1998, p.266-7) No. 830 which comes from a context dated 1400-1450 AD. Like that example the thickness of the walls and size of the pits on this piece suggest this thimble was for heavy duty use.
