Description: | A cast copper alloy thimble probably dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). The object is sub-circular in plan and is domed. The thimble is covered in irregular pits which are spiral on the crown and run vertically down the sides. The pits are irregular in diameter and some are conjoined. At the base of the object on the outer face is a circumferential band formed by two grooves. Below the band there are no more pits.The object has a smooth dark green patina which remains on one face only. The remaining surface of the thimble is light green in colour and corroded in places.This thimble can be dated from the Medieval to the Tudor period, Cuddeford, (1994), p48.
