Title
A late medieval to post medieval copper alloy thimble dating between 15th-16th century.
Description
English: A late medieval to post medieval copper alloy thimble dating between 15th-16th century. The thimble is cast in one piece with straight sides leading to a pointed dome. There is a narrow margin between the base and the pits indicated by a linear engraving. The circular pits are hand-drilled in an anti-clockwise spiral, with some perforated completely. The pits are evenly spaced and cover the peak. There is no maker's mark visible. The object is slightly distorted around the base and sides.

A similar example can be found in Holmes (1991, 1, fig 2b) and on the PAS database: SF-B32126

Dimensions: height: 19.61 mm; diameter at base: 14.61 mm; thickness: 0.41 mm; weight: 2.47g.
