Description: | A Medieval to post-Medieval copper-alloy thimble.The sides of the now-distorted thimble angle inwards, towards the top, where there is a flattened dome. Two parallel grooves extend around the base, forming a rim. The rest of the surface is covered with irregular columns of sub-circular indentations.Height: 18mm; diameter: 21.3mm. Weight: 4.81g.Similar thimbles are illustrated by Holmes, who suggests a date of mid 15th to mid 16th century (1988: 1, Fig. 2).
