Title |
Medieval Hispano-Moresque thimble |
||
Description |
English: A medieval copper alloy Hispano-Moresque domed thimble dating to c.1100-1500, measuring 49.8mm in length, 23.2mm in width and weighing 33.81g. The walls are 1.6mm thick. The open end is flanked with decoration in the form of two pairs of concentric grooves, the upper pair of which contains diagonal grooves between them. Inside the two pairs of concentric grooves are long curlicues with a dot between the curl and a curving line flanking the open edge. The sides of the thimble are parallel, angling inwards at the closed end towards the rounded tip. Another pair of concentric grooves are visible just below the tip. Between this pair of concentric grooves and those with diagonal grooves the central area of the thimble is filled with irregular circular punches. The open end has a jagged break extending along the side of the thimble. With many thanks to Brian Read for the identification. He comments further, "These date to c.12th - c.15th century, the degree of corrosion and condition makes me suspect this one is of the earlier date. The first I've noted as found in Britain. Probably made in Cordoba, Spain when under Moorish control. See Holmes 1985, pp 20-21 & McConnel 1991, pp 11, 14." (pers. comm. March 2016).
