Description: | A copper-alloy open-top thimble, or 'sewing ring', of probable Late Medieval to early Post Medieval date, c. AD 1400-1650.The diameter of the thimble gradually decreases from the base to the top. Apart from a plain band at the base, the outer surface is covered with 7 rows of sub-oval indentations. The thimble is slightly squashed and corroded. It is uncertain as to whether it has been cast or made from a piece of sheet-metal, the depressions on the outer surface having been added by means of a punch.The object measures 14.05 high, up to 21.02mm wide (diameter of base) and 16.72mm [diameter at the top]. The weight is 5.6gms
