Description: | A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy thimble of Medieval date. It is hemispherical in form with an unthickened rim that is decorated with an incised circumferential line. Above the rim the sides are decorated with numerous small circular indentations that possibly spiral to the top of the thimble, but their precise arrangement and the natrue of the tonsure is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 18.27mm in diameter at rim, 14.54mm in height and 5.10g in weight. The form of this thimble suggests a probable 14th or 15th century AD date (see for example Egan, 1998: nos. 821-831). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
