Description: | A complete copper alloy thimble of Medieval date. It has a thickened rim with straight sides and a dome-shaped top. Circular indentations spiral upwards from the rim to the centre of the top, which has a bare tonsure that is outlined by a series of four incised grooves arranged in a square, within which are at least four unevenly positioned circular indentations. It measures 17.02mm in height, 18.58mm in diameter at the rim, and weighs 5.25g. 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 |
