Description: | A complete copper-alloy open-topped thimble or sewing ring of probable later Medieval to Post-Medieval date.It is circular with an unthickened rim with three incised circumferential grooves. Running upwards from the rim are rows of evenly spaced punched oval indentations that terminate at the top of the sewing ring.This sewing ring measures 16.45mm in height, 19.31mm in external diameter at the base, 16.47mm in external diameter at top , 0.85mm in thickness, 3.92g in weight.The use of a thimble with an open top suggests a date range in the 15th to 16th centuries AD (see Holmes, 1988). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
