Description: | An incomplete and distorted silver thimble. The top is missing and the remaining sides have been cut or broken vertically and folded twice. Most of the external surface is covered with closely spaced lines of punched squares forming a waffle pattern with a plain border above and below. There is an engraved inscription around the base between two engraved lines ] VSE * VERtEV[ ('use virtue' or possibly 'use virtuously'). The rest of the border, and therefore any further letters in the inscription, are obscured by the folded metal. Height 22.7mm. Weight 3.9g.17th century.
