Thimble is held by István Dobó Castle Museum. Museum description: Pressed from sheet brass, cylindrical in shape, with a convex top. The body and dome are decorated all around with indented dots, and the lower rim with a double line.
The thimble was the most important hand-sewing tool alongside the needle. The piece presented here was found during the 2013 excavation of the Zárkándy bastion of the Eger Castle. The museum record gives material recorded as brass; measurements height: 1.5 cm, diameter: 1.7 cm. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
