Description: | A corroded and slightly damaged late Medieval to early Post Medieval cast copper alloy sewing-ring. At the base of the sewing-ring is a pair of plain raised bands with a narrow band in between. The sides of the thimble are slightly tapered towards the open top. Above the bands at the base, sub-circular indentations have been manually punched into the surface in a spiral around the circumference of the sewing ring, forming six tiers. The indentations stop short of the top of the ring resulting in a further plain band. The suggested date for the sewing ring is c. 1450 to 1600 AD. It measures 21.2mm diameter, 16.1 mm long, 1.2 mm thick and weighs 5 grams.
