Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large cast copper alloy thimble. This medieval thimble is domed with straight sides and is 21.6mm high with a diameter of 20.8mm at the rim. The rim (which is slightly damaged) is slightly thickened. The sides and top of the thimble are covered with circular indentations. They are not arranged in vertical lines but owing to patches of corrosion, it is unclear whether they form a single spiral or concentric rings, if either. The walls of the thimble are 1.9mm thick and they are in good condition. There is more corrosion on the top and this area seems slightly more worn. The constructi…
