| Description |
English: A late medieval to post medieval copper alloy thimble dating AD1520-1620. The thimble is cast in one piece and would have flared from the dome to the base. It is decorated with punched rectangular indentations (holes), which are evenly distributed in an anti-clockwise spiral from the base and cover the dome. There is a trefoil maker's mark at the base of the thimble, where the spiral of indentations begins. Thimbles with maker's marks date to AD1520-1620 (Holmes, 1991, 3). This particular thimble has been distorted and slightly damaged but is otherwise in good condition.
There are examples of thimbles with similar punched decoration on the PAS database: WILT-7F1460 and WILT-175981. There are also a fair number of sewing rings with the same decoration: SUR-9007B2 and LVPL-1CAB52 Dimensions: Diameter at base: 17.21 mm; Diameter at peak: 10.12 mm; height: 14.92 mm; weight: 1.12g.
