Description: | A damaged and squashed but complete copper alloy thimble dating to the early post-medieval period. The thimble has a peaked dome at the top and is decorated on both the top and the sides with hand-punched rectangular pits. Below the final line of pits on the sides of the thimble is a cojoined crescentic type decoration. There may also be a maker's mark but this could be hidden by an area of corrosion. This style of thimble was made in Nuremberg where the Guild of Thimblemakers required all thimbles to be marked, however not all were. The thimble dates from c. 1550-1620 AD.
