Description: | A heavily damaged copper-alloy thimble of Medieval date.The diameter of the thimble gradually decreases towards the top, where it angles inwards more sharply, possibly with a small opening at its apex (now damaged). Apart from a grooved band at the base, the outer surface is entirely covered with rows closely-spaced indentations. The artefact measures up to 20mm wide at the base, 14.5mm high and weighs 2g.This thimble is classified as a 'light duty' thimble under Holmes's classification (1988: 1). A date of mid 14th to mid 15th century is suggested.
