Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy sewing ring or open top thimble. Frustrum-shaped with four horizontal rows of hand punched sub-oval pits running from top to bottom; the final two at the base are slots rather than pits and these may be part of a makers mark, although no detail can be resolved. The base is very slightly flared with a continuous band of saltire cross decorations around the periphery. The top of the thimble is damaged with a triangular nick missing from which a vertical crack runs down to the base. Circa 1550 to 1650 AD and a possible product of Nuremberg. Length 12mm, width 18.6mm. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
