An incomplete unusual double walled copper alloy beehive thimble, probably dating from 1400-1500 AD. It is slightly squashed and there is extensive damage to the rim and one side. Originally it was dome shaped, with no division between crown and sides. Unusually, this thimble either has a double layered wall, or is in fact two thimbles which were stacked one inside the other when deposited. Two closely fitting layers of copper alloy are visible, very noticeably where the upper layer is missing. The punch holes covering the walls and top are small, round and erratically spaced. Th…
