Description: | Incomplete and squashed post-medieval silver thimble. A vertical butt-seam has sprung apart and the separately made dome is missing. The letters KW, possibly the owners initials, are engraved within a plain band around the base defined by two encircling lines. A narrower band is left plain at the top. The sides are covered with waffle-like indentations on which are reserved three squares, each joined to the next and to the upper and lower plain bands by short plain strips. This style of decoration, on two-piece silver thimbles of this method construction, is now quite frequently encountered (e.g. Treasure Annual Report 2004 nos. 330-2 and 334-6; Treasure Annual Report 2005/6 nos. 832-3). Diameter c.17mm. Height greater than 23mm. Weight 4.94g. 17th century.
