Description: | A copper alloy thimble dating to the medieval period (c AD1200-1450). The thimble is domed with a flattened top. It is slightly squashed at the edges with dents on the surface. The small, circular drilled pits are regular on the body, but sporadically arranged on top. There is a narrow plain banner at the bottom of the body where the surface hasn't been pitted. The thimble is quite chunky, which suggests an early date. The object has a dark green patina.
