content: THE THIMBLE CONSISTS OF A COPPER PIECE WITH RINGS ON THE OUTER EDGE FOR ATTACHING A THIN LEATHER STRING. THE COLLECTS SUGGESTS THAT THE THIMBLE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN USED IN LEATHERWORK, BY LACING THE LEATHER STRING TO THE HAND AND ALLOWING THE COPPER PIECE TO REST ON BASE OF THUMB. ACCORDING TO THE COLLECTOR, SMALL INDENTED CIRCLES ON BASE OF COPPER PIECE WOULD SERVE AS SOCKETS FOR BASE OF NEEDLE, ONE CIRCLE COMPLETELY BROKEN THROUGH.
