Description: | A complete copper alloy thimble of Medieval date. It has a thickened rim with double incised/engraved parallel grooves, straight sides and a dome-shaped top. Small unevenly positioned circular indentations spiral upwards from the rim to the centre of the top, which has a bare tonsure with a central circular indentation. The interior of the rim has unevenly spaced thickened vertical bands probably resultant from manufacture. It measures 16.47mm in height, 17.20mm in diameter (slightly flattened) at the rim, and weighs 4.23g. This thimble is of Medieval date, with similar parallels suggesting a date in the 14th or 15th centuries AD (see Holmes, 1991: pp. 1-2; Egan, 1998: no. 824).
