Description: | A cast copper alloy Medieval 'beehive' thimble, dating to the 14th century AD. The thimble has hand-punched holes (indentations) running in vertical lines over the main body, while the lower portion of the conical peak has indentations running in three rows around it. The peak itself is left plain. Two incised lines run parallel and concentrically around the base of the thimble, which is overall in good condition. For a similar example see Egan (1998) p266 no.821. This example was recovered from a secure context dated by pottery to AD 1330-1380.
