Description: | A copper-alloy beehive thimble of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The thimble is worn and in poor condition. A fold on one side indicates that it has been created from a cut piece of metal, rather than cast. It has a dark brown patina where the surface metal remains, although much is missing through wear and corrosion. Elsewhere the patina ranges from a green/blue to brown colour.
