| Description |
English: A complete Post medieval copper alloy thimble dating AD1520-1620. The thimble has a wide margin between the base and the regularly spaced pits which is decorated with a stamped pattern. The pattern comprises a stamped repeated decoration composed of a thin band of lozenges with annulets within. Below this a repeated motif in the form of a stylized crown within a pelleted circle is stamped to form a band of decoration. Below this the thin band of lozenges with annulets within is repeated. The pits are drilled in a spiral and they cover the peak. Where the pits terminate, there is an undiagnostic makers stamp. Holmes (1988:3) writes "Thimbles with hand punched indentations often have a maker's mark which is struck where the spiral of the indentations begins near the base. These would appear to have been imported mostly from Nuremberg where, under the ordinances of the Guild of Thimble-makers, all thimbles and sewing rings were required to carry the mark of the master who made them. However not all Nuremberg thimbles are necessarily marked. So far as one can judge thimbles with makers' marks normally date from 1520-1620." The object is a brassy golden colour. Similar Nuremberg thimbles can be seen in Holmes (1988 Fig.5).
