Title
A medieval to Post-medieval thimble
Description
English: A medieval/early post-medieval copper-alloy thimble of cast construction. The thimble is domed with slightly flared sides and a flattened top. The top of the thimble is decorated with four incised lines forming a square. The drilled pits just below the incised square. The pits continue in a continuous spiral to the base in a regular fashion. The thickness of this cast thimble might suggest that it was used for heavy duty work. Above the base is a rim. The rim has suffered a couple of small losses. The bare circular patch on top of the thimble, or 'tonsure', indicates a relatively early date; similar early thimbles are often dated to the 15th or 16th centuries, cf. Holmes (1988, 1). The object has a even mid-green patina with some light corrosion product internally.
