Description: | A complete copper-alloy thimble of Medieval date. It has a thickened rim with single incised/engraved parallel groove, straight sides and a dome-shaped top. Small unevenly positioned circular indentations spiral upwards from the rim to the centre of the top, which has a bare tonsure with a central circular indentation. It measures 12.91mm in height, 18.46mm in diameter (slightly flattened) at the rim, and weighs 3.17g. This thimble is of Medieval date, with similar parallels suggesting a date in the 14th or 15th centuries AD (see Holmes, 1991: pp. 1-2; Egan, 1998: no. 824). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
