Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval sheet copper-alloy closed thimble (c. 1600-c. 1800).This thimble is squashed flat, does not have a thickened rim and the crown is missing due to a break.The sides slope inwards from the base towards the top. It has circumferential horizontal lines of circular indentations on the walls. Close to the rim there is a circumferential panel decorated with repeating stamped scroll-like or floriate motifs. These are mainly obscure due to abrasion.The outer surface of the thimble is reddish brown with light green corrosion in the crevices.Height: 23.0mm; width at base: 27.4mm; width at top: 20.5mm; thickness: 4.4mm; Weight including soil within: 3.48g.
