Description: | Complete copper alloy domed thimble, probably of Medieval date. The indentations are arranged in concentric circles and appear to have been made by hand as they are consistently slightly deeper at one side than the other. Lots of folds around the rim suggest the the thimble was made using the earlier stamping and hammering method (Holmes 1999, p.1). It probably dates from c.1350-1500.Diameter at base: 20.61mm, Thickness of walls: 1.32mm, Weight: 6.38g
