Description: | A complete copper-alloy open type thimble or 'sewing ring', of Late Medieval to Early Post-Medieval date (1400-1600). The thimble measures 23.26mm diameter at the widest end (internal 21.06mm), narrowing to 21.09mm (internal 17.94mm) over a height of 10.47mm. It is 1.84mm thick (max.) It weighs 5.06g.The walls are slightly splayed. This is to allow an easier fit on the finger and is also chronologically diagnostic to the Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval periods (Holmes 1988, 3). The ring is decorated with functional circular punched depressions, arranged fairly regularly in four concentric circles.
