Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy thimble of Post-Medieval date. It is missing parts of the rim and one side due to old breaks, and the entire object has been flattened due to post-depositional damage. The thimble has an unthickened and undecorated rim measuring approximately 3.7mm in height. Above the rim hand punched/drilled circular indentations spiral up the sides and to the centre of a flattened circular top. The interior of the thimble is encrusted with earth. In its current flattened state it measures 16.33mm in height, 27.40mm in width, 9.29mm in thickness, and weighs 3.56g.The presence of straigh sides and a flattened top, combined with hand punched/drilled indentations that spiral to the top of the thimble, suggest that this exampe is of Post-Medieval date (see Holmes, 1991). This indicates a probable 16th century AD date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
