Description: | A copper-alloy open-top thimble, or 'sewing ring', of probable Late Medieval to early post-Medieval date.The diameter of the thimble gradually decreases from the base to the top. Apart from a plain band at the base, the outer surface is largely covered with rows of sub-oval indentations. The thimble is slightly squashed and corroded. It is uncertain as to whether it has been cast or made from a piece of sheet-metal, the depressions on the outer surface having been added by means of a punch.The object measures 16mm high, up to 20mm wide (diameter of base) and 1.4mm thick. The weight is 5.55g.
