Description: | Medieval copper alloy thimble, with a large dent in its wall. It stands 22.07mm in height, has an open-end diameter of 23.46mm (internal 21.21mm) and weighs 7.22g. The thimble is of the 'beehive' type, which dates between circa 1350 and 1500 (Holmes, 1991). The sides slope inwards from the open end, and rather more sharply on the domed top, which has a raised centre-point. The open end is bound by two concentric grooves and three resulting ribs. Above, the wall is decorated with vertical (and some slightly slanting) lines of circular punches. The sloped top has circular punches in a spiral, ending at the centre.
