Description: | A complete copper-alloy thimble of Medieval date. It has straight sides and a pointed, dome-shaped top. A single, uneven grooved border is present at the rim, above which circular indentations spiral upwards to the bare tonsure at the top of the thimble. The entire object has a dark brown patina. It measures 18.43mm in height, 16.58mm in diameter at rim, and weighs 4.15g. 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 |
