Description: | A cast copper-alloy thimble of probable late Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It has straight sides with a rounded/pointed top and a slightly thickened rim with single circumferential groove. The sides have circular indentations that spiral upwards from the rim to the shoulders and finally to the top, which has a small bare but unpierced tonsure. The thimble measures 16.80mm in height, 21.27mm in diameter, and weighs 5.52g. It probably dates to the 15th or 16th centuries AD (see Holmes, 1991; Egan, 1998: nos. 830-831). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
