Description: | A probably incomplete Early Post-Medieval (17th century) silver thimble formed of sheet silver 0.38mm thick. The ends would have originally been soldered to form a continuous circle but the ends are now not joined. The thimble is probably missing its top which would have been made separately and soldered into place. The thimble is decorated with regular square-ish punches. Across these are plain bands of zig-zag strapwork flanked by grooves. Flanking the bottom edge is another plain band decorated with a groove.Dimensions and metal content: It measures 20.29x19.48x13.36mm and weighs 3.25g. Katie Hinds
