Description: | Cast copper alloy open-top thimble or sewing ring, flattened on one side so that it is now C-shaped in plan and rectangular in profile. The ring has four horizontal and concentric lines of large triangular indentations defined by an incised line below above a 2 mm band at the base. The upper edge of the thimble has been torn in places, but appears to be complete without an upper border.Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 123, No.785 which is dated from the 16th century.Margeson (1993) illustrates a similar sewing ring on page 188, Fig.139, No.1461, which is dated from the 17th century.
