Description: | Distorted copper-alloy Post Medieval hand-punched or drilled thimble. The thimble is flat-topped and tapers from an estimated original diameter (now flattened at the base) of approximately 20mm to 16mm across the crown. The indentations are circular in shape and spiral from the centre of the crown outwards and down the sides to the base. There is no discernable makers mark. Thimbles of this form date from the latter part of the 15th century to the end of the 16th and similar examples have been recovered from the secure context of the Mary Rose which sank in 1545 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
