Description: | A copper alloy domed thimble, of Post Medieval date with angled sides and a slightly domed top. The thimble has small circular indentations arranged in a regular spiral across the top with no tonsure and indentations arranged in a spiral around the sides. One side of the thimble has suffered damage at the base and now circa 5-10% of the thimble has been broken and lost. It measures 16.8mm in height and has a rough base diametre of 18.15mm. The top diametre is 15.4mm and the sides are 0.7 thick. The thimble weighs 3.17g.There is no evidence of folding in the rim which could suggest that it is cast rather than made from sheet metal. Egan (2005, p. 132) illustrates similar examples, numbers 627, 630, which he dates between 1530-1600 AD.
