Description: | A copper-alloy thimble. The thimble has a height of 21.68mm, weighs 3.86g and has a diameter at the base of 18.49mm, tapering to 12.43mm diameter at the top, before the start of the domed top. The sheet metal of the thimble is 0.63mm thick. The lower 2.40mm is undecorated, followed by a line of tiny punched dots. This pattern repeats with a total of four lines of tiny punched dots and five plain bands. From 11.90mm up from the base to the top of the thimble is covered in regularly sized and spaced circular pits. The domed top is worn resulting in none of the original surface surviving. The date range for this thimble is late Post-Medieval to Modern. This thimble is in relatively good condition although a short length of the circumference is squashed and bent inwards.
