Description: | A damaged, cast copper alloy, post medieval thimble, probably dating from the seventeenth or eighteenth century. The sides taper slightly to a rounded top which is separated from the main body by a narrow incised line. The holes on both body and top are small, round and machine made. The holes are arranged in a tight, cross-hatching pattern. The holes are contained by a narrow, incised line located above the rim of the thimble. There is no surface decoration between the rim of the thimble and the incised line, although the rim itself is damaged, being ragged owing to a number of missing pieces. Any other decoration, if it once existed, is now missing. The thimble has a smooth, dark green patina. It is 20.62mm high and the maximum diameter at the rim is 16.81mm. At the rim, the metal has a thickness of 0.88mm. It weighs 3.69g.A similar thimble is recorded under reference SWYOR-A21B73
