Description: | Cast copper alloy open-top thimble or sewing ring, circular in plan and rectangular in profile. The external face of the hoop has four irregular horizontal and concentric lines of unevenly spaced circular indentations which also vary in size. There are two plain bands or borders of about 2 mm in depth or width, above and below the rows of indentations.Read (1988) illustrates a similar sewing ring with four rows of circular indentations on page 76, No.435 which is dated from the 15th century and another that has five rows and similar borders on page 123, No.787, which is dated from the 16th century.
