Description: | A post-medieval to modern copper-alloy thimble.The diameter of the damaged thimble gradually decreases towards the domed top. Apart from a plain band, located at the base, the near-vertical wall of the thimble is decorated by a number of rows of closely-spaced, circular indentations. The nature of the domed top is uncertain, as this find is recorded from a photograph.Diameter at base: c. 25mm (see note above); height: c. 25mm.The regularity of the indentations on this thimble suggest that it may be of industrial manufacture. A date of 18th to 19th century is suggested.
