Description: | A worn, cast copper-alloy open-topped thimble or sewing ring of probable later Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is flattened due to post-depositional damage. The thimble has an unthickened rim that is undecorated, above which are rows of evenly spaced oval shaped indentations that spiral upwards to the open top of the thimble. The open top itself appears to have possibly been cut as some of the uppermost indentations are truncated. It measures 9.95mm in height, 23.98mm in width at base (flattened), 0.82mm in thickness, and weighs 2.08g. The use of a thimble with an open top suggests a date range in the 15th to 16th centuries AD (see Holmes, 1988). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
