Description: | Medieval - early Post Medieval copper alloy robust thimble with sloping sides and domed top. The top and sides are covered in a continuous spiral of circular pits starting at the crown with no bare tonsure. There is an incised plain line around the base with a plain rim below it. The rim has several folds which show on the outerside as cracks but have folds of metal on the inner side. The thimble is 16.8mm tall, 17.6mm in diameter at the base, 1.0mm thick and weighs 4.20 grams.It is similar to Holmes (1988) p. 1 Fig 2b which lacks the line at the base and is dated AD 1400-1550 and to an example from Southwark (Egan 2005: 131, no.629) from a context dated AD 1530-1550. The folds at the rim on this example suggest it is was made by stamping.
