Description: | A Late Medieval copper alloy thimble. It is complete but has been bent out of shape around the rim to form an oval shape, probably as a result of plough damage. The rim is unthickened with a plain border, and there is one notch which extends into the first row of indentations. These are mostly circular pits, arranged in a spiral which terminates on the top of the thimble, but leaving a bare circular patch at the centre. The thimble sides taper gently to the top which is rounded, becoming conical at the centre. The thimble measures 24.36mm in length along the rim, (the diameter being unmeasurable) and 20.13mm in height. It weighs 7.70g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
