Title
A complete Post Medieval copper alloy thimble.
Description
English: A complete post medieval copper alloy thimble. The thimble has a conical crown and slightly tapering sides, there are three narrow circumferential incised lines below the crown. Decoration on the crown consists of four hand drilled lozenge-shapes each one separated by a vertical incised groove, each groove also has small horizontal punched lines, there are also four drilled holes at the base of each line. There are irregular hand drilled holes to only one side of the side of the thimble, the other side has punched decoration consisting of a heart which is pierced by an arrow and two standing figures, one either side of the heart. The base has a single circumferential line and a wide circumferential line of oblique ribs. There is a final thin plain band around the bottom rim. The object is similar to those in Holmes 1988 Fig.5. This would suggest that the thimble was manufactured in Nuremburg in the late 16th - early 17th century AD.
