Description: | A copper-alloy thimble of Medieval date. It is hemispherical in shape with an unthickened rim that is decorated with two incised parallel circumferential lines. Above the rim the sides of the thimble are decorated with numerous unevenly spaced small circular indentations. The top of the thimble is bare of indentations forming a tonsured crown with a central circular perforation at the top. The thimble measures 21.09mm in width at rim, 13.37mm in height and 2.82g in weight. The form and tonsured head suggest a probable 14th century AD date for the current example (see for example Margeson, 1993: no. 1457; Egan, 1998: no. 824). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
