Description: | Copper alloy Thimble. Cast beehive shaped thimble with an incised circumferential line limiting a plain foot ring, with vertical rows of circular pits above it. At the shoulder of the wall the vertical arrangement of pits gives way to four concentric rings of similar pits which surround a plain top with a single central hole of diameter 1.5mm, possibly drilled. The treatment of the top lends the thimble an appearance reminiscent of an acorn. Suggested date: later Medieval, 1400-1500. Diameter: 17.6mm, Height: 13.7mm, Thickness (wall): 0.9mm, Weight: 2.58gms.Copper alloy Thimble.
