Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy open-top thimble or sewing ring flattened on one side so that it is now D-shaped in plan and rectangular in profile. The external face of the hoop has four irregular horizontal and concentric lines of large sub-square, almost circular indentations which vary in definition due to the level of corrosion. The flattened side is more worn and the rounded side more corroded with patches of bronze disease. Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 76, No.436, which is dated from the 15th century.
