Description: | A copper-alloy open-topped thimble or sewing ring of probable later Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It has an unthickened rim decorated with a single circumferential groove. Above this are rows of evenly spaced punched circular indentations that run to a groove that runs around the open top of the object. The interior is filled white a white material, possibly lead, perhaps suggesting re-use at a later date as a different object type (weight?). It measures 13.23mm in height, 12.52mm in external diameter at the base, 10.70mm in diameter at top, and 4.09g in weight. The use of a thimble with an open top suggests a possible date range in the 15th to 16th centuries AD (see Holmes, 1988). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
