Description: | A complete Medieval copper alloy thimble made from hammering sheet metal. The thimble is slightly irregular in shape, has tapering sides and a domed crown, and has been slightly crushed. The indentations follow a spiral pattern, starting from the crown centre and ending at the base, where a circumferential groove defines the opening. Inside the thimble, along the outer edge, are laps and creases, evidence of the manufacturing process of hammering sheet metal into a die. The artefact measures 16.9mm high, 18.5mm diameter at the base and 1.24mm thick. It weighs 4.32g.
