Description: | A complete late medieval to early post-medieval copper alloy open thimble or 'sewing ring', dating to 1450 - 1550. The thimble has slightly flaring sides, being wider at the base than at the open top, which are now squashed. It is decorated with a spiral of regular indentations arranged in four rows, with the pits at the top being circular, gradually becoming rectangular by the bottom row. The metal has a dark brownish-purple patina with patches of bright green corrosion. The diameter at the base now varies between 24.2mm and 10.7mm, at the top between 20.5mm and 7.5mm. The walls are 9.75mm tall and 1.1mm thick and the object weighs 4.01g.
