Description: | A complete Medieval copper alloy thimble. The thimble is irregular in shape, has tapering sides and a peaked crown. The indentations are distributed randomly. There is a circumferential groove around the base. There is no evidence of laps or creases which would suggest it has been manufactured from hammering sheet metal; instead it appears to have been cast. The artefact measures 16.4mm high and 12.6mm diameter at the base. It weighs 2.67g.
