Description: | A complete copper alloy, beehive type thimble of late medieval or early post-medieval date, about AD 1400-1600. The thimble is domed with slightly flared sides and a rounded top (tonsure). There are thirteen rows of circular depressions that begin with a plain rim at the base and continue around and up the sides to the 'tonsure' top.This bare circular patch at the top is indicative of a relatively early date, often dated to the 15th or 16th centuries (Holmes, 1988). It has a green patina.The thimble is 19.76mm tall, 19.91mm wide and the wall is 1.1mm thick. It weighs 6.5g
