Description: | Two late medieval to early post-medieval copper-alloy thimbles, arranged one inside the other.The slightly damaged outer thimble tapers towards its convex top. The outer surface is covered by closely-spaced rows of circular indentations; on the top, these rows become concentric circles. At the base, there is a plain rim with single groove at the top. The inner thimble projects slightly beneath the base of the outer and seems to be of similar form. Overall height: 22.8mm; maximum diameter: 18.6mm. Weight: 8.39g.Several similar thimbles were found in excavations at Southwark, mostly in layers dating from the late 15th to 17th centuries (Egan 2005: 131-133).
