Description: | Two Medieval copper alloy domed thimbles, one of which has been inserted into the other and the bases squashed together. The outer thimble is marked with hand drilled pits of varying sizes in roughly concentric circles. Small portions of the outer thimble are missing due to corrosion and damage. It is possible that it had a hole on the top of the dome, but this is difficult to tell due to the missing pieces. Two horizontal grooves are visible just above the base of the outer thimble.While there are no other examples of two thimbles squashed together have been found on the database, there are examples of similar styles: BH-81DEC7, YORYM-AD55C6, GLO-97E6E5, HAMP-D78241.The thimbles weigh 7.32g. They are 17.42mm high and would have had an approximate diameter of 25.5mm.
