Description: | Copper alloy thimble. Cast domed or beehive thimble, apparently made in two layers, as revealed by the spalling of the outer layer from the top. A plain zone at the base is limited by a circumferentially incised border line. Above this, hand-punched pits are arranged in a series of vertical rows, with c.10 pits per row. It appears from what remains that smaller pits occupied the top - or they are more heavily worn here - and these were arranged in either concentric circles or a spiral. Suggested date: Early Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Diameter: 17.3mm, Height: 19.1mm, Wall Thickness: 1.3mm, Weight: 6.89gms
