Description: | Copper alloyThimble. Cast conical thimble with punched indentations, possibly arranged in a spiral around its body. The object is now flat topped with a central hole, but the continuing traces of indentations on top suggest it was originally beehive shaped and has been forcefully flattened to this unusual form. The lower edges of the wall are chipped and abraded, and the indentations nearly smoothed by wear. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1400-1500.Diameter: 20.8mm, Height: 16.2mm, Wall Thickness: 2mm, Weight: 7.77gms.
