Description: | Cast copper alloy thimble length 13mm, wall thickness 1mm, diameter of aperture 19mm, weight 4.96g. The outside of the thimble is decorated with irregularly punched circular indentations that spiral up towards the cap which is undecorated and slightly pointed. A zigzag band runs around the circumference of the wall where indentations have not been drilled. These indentions have been hand drilled. This artefact dates to 1350-1500. Similar examples are illustrated in E. F. Holmes' 'Sewing Thimbles', Finds Research Group 700-1700 Datasheet 9.
