File:Conical thimble, double layer of sheeting, hole in top. (FindID 105490).jpg

English: Sheet copper alloy conical thimble, unusually made from two layers of sheeting, one laid over the other. The outer layer is damaged, and only partially covers the inner layer. The inner layer is smooth, without deliberate indentations, although there are some faint marks of indentations presumably from the punching of the indentations on the outer layer. The indentations in the outer layer are round, of varying diamater, and appear to have been applied in a spiral around the wall, although they seem random in some areas. A sub-circuar hole is roughly cut out of the top of the inner layer (the outer layer does not reach the top). The rim appears to have been undecorated on both layers. There is a split in the rim of the lower layer where a flap overlaps on the inside of the rim. It is unclear whether the outer layer would have originally covered the whole of the object. Probably 15th-16th century. Length 20.90mm, diameter 17.2-19.3mm, thickness of inner sheet c.0.8mm, thickness of outer sheet c.0.8mm, overall thickness 1.72mm, weight 6.17g.
