Description: | A copper alloy Late medieval or Post-medieval thimble. It is of 'beehive' shape, with a conical dome and slightly flared sides. There are a pair of grooves defining a band around its rim. The pits appear to have been made in vertical rows running up the sides and over the top to the centre of the dome of the thimble, leaving a bare tonsure.There are three notches in the edge of the rim; these seem to be a feature of the method of manufacture. The thimble has a varied mid green patina. The walls are 1.43mm thick.
