Description: | Cast cu-alloy thimble dating from the middle or later medieval period 1200 to 1500AD. The thimble is complete and quite narrow compared to the tall silver or tin thimbles of the early modern period. The thimble is slightly squashed with fracture lines around the base. The dots on the outside were hand-drilled by a medieval thimbler who arranged them in a spiral starting at the top of the thimble and then working down to the opening. It is undecorated and in reasonable condition. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
