The rest of the surface is covered with rows of sub-oval indentations.The thimble is squashed and heavily corroded. It measures 21.3mm high, 20.7mm wide (at base) and weighs 5.39g.Several similar thimbles were found in excavations at Southwark, London, mostly in layers dating from the late 15th to 17th centuries (Egan 2005: 131-133).
