Description: | A Late Medieval copper-alloy thimble.The diameter of the thimble gradually decreases towards the top, where it angles inwards more sharply, terminating in a rounded apex. The base is marked by a plain horizontal band with a groove border at the top; other than this, the outer surface is covered by irregular rows of closely-spaced indentations.Height: 19.2mm; maximum width (squashed): 24.1mm. Weight: 8.8g.Similar thimbles are illustrated by Holmes, who suggests they date from the mid 14th to mid 15th centuries (1988: 1, figs. 1 and 2).
