Description: | A Medieval/ Early Post-Medieval (1300-1600) copper-alloy beehive thimble of cast construction, squashed and standing 13.59mm tall and weighing 3.55g.The thimble is domed with slightly flared sides and a rounded 'tonsure' top (although the metal is rather worn and pitted around here so it is difficult to be certain). Above the base are two decorative grooves, above which begin the drilled pits, apparently running in vertical lines from the top (although the worn surface of the thimble mentioned above is also to be taken into consideration here).It measures 21.60mm in diameter at the open end (internal 18.62mm) and c.15mm in diameter at the top of the walls.The weight of this cast thimble might suggest that it was used for light duty work.
