Description: | A damaged copper-alloy thimble, probably dating from the Late Medieval to early post-Medieval periods.The outer surface of the thimble bears nine rows of circular punch marks, the only unstamped area being a plain band at the bottom. The thimble is open at the top, which would appear to be the result of an adaptation, possibly following damage. The top edge of the thimble has been folded inwards, creating a flat rim around the opening. The corroded object measures 19.7mm high, up to 25.2mm wide and weighs 7.7g.
