Description: | An incomplete and slightly misshapen post-Medieval silver closed thimble (c. 1725-c. 1800).The top is missing due to a break.The walls have horizontal circumferential rows of circular indentations. The lower portion, above the thickened rim, is inscribed with zigzag rocker-work forming a foliate or scroll-like design. However, the rocker-work also forms a small rectangular space which seems too small an area to accommodate initials. There is no indication of any manufacturing marks. The rim is plain.Height: 17.5mm; width: 18.1mm; thickness: 16.7mm; thickness of rim: 1.3mm. Weight: 3.09g.A silver thimble, also from the Isle of Wight, has a similar rocker-work design (IOW-7FAB70).
