Description: | A complete copper alloy thimble of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is slightly flattened due to post-depositional damage. The thimble has an unthickened rim with double incised/engraved parallel grooves, straight sides and a pointed, dome-shaped top. Small unevenly positioned circular indentations spiral upwards from the rim to the centre of the top. It measures 20.16mm in height, 22.44mm in diameter (flattened) at the rim, and weighs 4.58g. This thimble is of Medieval to Post-Medieval date, with similar parallels suggesting a date in the 15th or 16th centuries AD (see Holmes, 1991). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
