Description: | Post medieval thimble; cast copper alloy thimble of 16th or early 17th century. The thimble is sturdy and with relatively large indentations, suggesting that it was intended for coarse work. The indentations run in a spiral from the base towards the crown but there is a small bare patch or 'tonsure' at the tip, thus suggesting a date ante-1650. Thickness (as squashed) 17.2mm.
