Description: | A complete copper-alloy Post Medieval thimble, probably dating to the 16th century AD. The thimble has no 'tonsure' or indentations at its apex, but rather begins the spiralling hand-punched pattern directly in the centre of the thimble's upper segment. The thimble itself is covered in these hand punched spiralling dots, terminating in an uneven plain, undecorated and flat base-edge; some similar examples bear makers' marks on this flat base edge, but this example seems to be plain and undecorated. The inside of the thimble is undecorated. The thimble has an overall dark reddish-brown colour. It measures 16.53 mm high, 13.12 mm in diameter (at base), 0.82 mm thick (walls) and weighs 3.3 grams.
