Title
Beehive thimble
Description
English:

A complete but bent and damaged copper alloy 'beehive' thimble dating from the medieval/post-medieval period, c. AD1400-1550. This thimble is oval in plan and the walls taper inwards from the base towards the crown. The outer face has, in the upper part, a line of sub-circular indentations/drilled pits which spiral clockwise from the middle of the thimble to the apex. The apex is bare. The lower half of the thimble is decorated with drilled dotted vertical lines. The base is decorated with two circumferential grooves. The inner face of the object is smooth and undecorated.

The object is missing a small portion from its base circumference; it is bent but the surfaces are in fair condition.
