Description: | A post medieval silver thimble or sewing ring. The thimble is made from a rolled sheet. Near the base edge of the thimble on the outer surface are stamped initials; 'MP', on a banner held up by a cherub on either side. Above the initials is a makers mark: '.JC.' within an oval with floral projections. Below the banner is a plain raised border. The rest of the thimble is covered in rows of circular indentations. The top of the thimble is open, and along one side of the thimble is the seam where the edges of the sheet meet. It is now slightly squashed and it measures 16.1mm (diameter at base) x 13.7mm (diameter at top) x 14.6mm (height) x 1.3mm (thickness) and weighs 4.50g.
