Description: | A copper-alloy thimble of Medieval date. It is dome-shaped in form with relatively straight sides that curve inwards at the shoulder towards a rounded top. The thickened rim is undecorated, above which the sides have multiple unevenly spaced circular indentations. At the shoulder the indentations begin to spiral towards a bare tonsure. The entire object measures 11.03mm in height, 14.55mm in diameter at rim, 0.47mm in thickness at rim, and 1.47g in weight.This thimble finds parallels in examples published from London (Egan, 1998: no. 824) and Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 1457). It is of Medieval date, probably c.14th AD date, if not slightly later. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
