Description: | A copper-alloy light-duty thimble, dating from the Late Medieval period.The diameter of the thimble gradually decreases towards the top, before angling inwards more sharply, terminating in a point. Apart from a plain area at the top and a narrow band at the base, the outer surface is entirely covered with rows of closely-spaced indentations.Height: 16.7mm; maximum diameter: 18.1mm; thickness: 0.5mm; weight: 3.06g.Holmes suggests that thimbles of this form date from the mid 14th to mid 15th centuries (1988: 1).
