Description: | Medieval copper alloy ring thimble in the form of a truncated cone with five iregular lines of indentions around its circumference. These indentations are c. 1.2mm in diameter and appear to have been executed with a drill (there is no sign of them on the inside of the ring). The thimble was formed as a metal strip and drilled prior to it being formed into a ring. It is now broken but the fracture did not occur at the joint. Diameter 20.0mm tapering to 17.8mm, Height 10.2mm, Metal thickness 1.9mm, Mass 3.97g. In London, thimble of this form were dated to 1350-1400 (Egan, 2010, 266-7, Fig. 206, Nos 816-20).
