A complete Post Medieval copper-alloy thimble. The object is a domed-shaped heavy duty thimble with tapered sides with a sub-circluar base.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

A complete Medieval to Post Medieval lead-alloy spindle whorl dating to circa AD 1100-1550. It is broadly circular in plan and plano-convex in section. The central hole is circular with an internal diameter of 8.65mm. The piece is heavily worn. Spindle whorls can be hard to date accurately as they remained in use for a long period of time.  The weight of the spindle whorl is suggestive of a thick linen or wool fibre being spun, as there is a direct relationship between the weight of the whorl and the thickness of the resulting thread.
