It has a plain rim and the sides slope towards the domed crown. The walls have circumferential lines of sub-circular indentations which extend on to the crown. The apex of the crown is damaged, misshapen or has, perhaps, been modified.This thimble is corroded and has traces of a green patina. Parts or the rim are missing due to breaks.Height: 18.88mm; width: 18.36mm; thickness: 15.38mm; thickness of walls: 0.83mm.
