Title
Post-medieval thimble
Description
English: A complete, early post-medieval, copper alloy closed thimble, probably dating to the 16th-18th century. The indentations are sub-rectangular in shape and have been stamped in a right-hand spiral running from a plain band around the base, up the sides and covering the top of the thimble. They appear to be reasonably regular in shape and placement. The walls of the thimble are 0.8mm in thickness and fairly even. The closed top is rounded, with the sides flaring out slightly towards the base.

Height 18.3mm, width 17.5mm, thickness 0.8mm, weight 5.76g.
