Title
A Medieval cast copper alloy thimble.
Description
English: A Medieval cast copper alloy thimble. The thimble has been cast in one piece and is domed in shape with no central hole. The surface of the thimble has been drilled with concentric rings of small circular pellets. The thimble has been flattened on one side, possibly due to post deposition processes. A very similar example can be seen in Egan (1998) page 267 number 830. The thimble is 22.1mm long, 18.4mm wide, .4mm thick and weighs 7.0 grams.
