Description: | A copper-alloy open type sheet thimble or 'sewing ring' of late medieval to early post-medieval date. It has a trapezoidal cross-section given its splayed base. The ring features functional punches, arranged fairly regularly in four rows spiraling round the band. A thin zone below the pits is plain (cf. Holmes 1988, 2; fig. 4). The thimble has a light-green patina with areas of off-white corrosion product, particularly internally.
