Title
481 thimble.jpg
Description
English: Thimble 
Medieval 1350-1550 

Height 20mm, approximate diameter 20mm, thickness 1.5mm 



Beehive style thimble. The sides taper towards the crown which is hemispherical although slightly pointed. Circular indentations radiate down the length of the walls on the thimble in lines. The indentations vary in size and are not evenly spaced. The outer layer has flaked away in many places resulting in a smooth crown and patchy walls.
Mid-green patina where the outer surface remains, about 50%, light green where the outer surface has flaked away with light green powdery patched of active corrosion. The thimble is slightly squashed and in a poor condition.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Gloucestershire
