Description: | A fragment from a copper-alloy thimble of Medieval date. Only a small rectangular fragment from the side of the thimble survives, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It has a slightly thickened rim with double parallel grooves. Above the grooves are multiple unevenly spaced circular indentations that run to the shoulder where the fragment terminates in old breaks. It measures 12.63mm in surviving length, 13.64mm in width, 1.09mm in thickness, and 0.91g in weight. This is a fragment from a thimble that 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 |
