Title |
A copper alloy 'heavy duty' beehive type thimble, dating from 1400 to 1550AD |
||
Description |
English: A copper alloy 'heavy duty' beehive type thimble, dating from 1400 to 1550AD. The thimble is domed with slightly flared sides and a rounded top. Probably drilled although it could be cast, it is often difficult to distinguish between cast and hammered thimbles. A series of closely and unevenly set circular dents cover the sides, leaving a plain circular area around the crown.. The drilled pits begin at the top and continue in a continuous spiral to the base in a regular manner. It is possible that the thimble could be an open type as the top is missing. The length is 19mm, and the width is 18mm. |
