Description: | Cast copper alloy 'beehive' thimble, circular in plan and semi-circular in profile, with nine parallel rows of horizontal and concentric deep circular indentations, spiralling from a single indentation at the crown of the thimble. At the base of the thimble is a plain raised border, about 2.5 mm in height. Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 76, No.431, which is dated to the 15th century. Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example on page 13, Plate 1 (bottom left), which is dated from c.1350-1450.
