Bobbins and thimble
Record status
Individual type · partial
This object is a composite sewing tool comprising bobbins and a thimble, catalogued under accession number 1103:1-1902. The piece is constructed with an elongated, tiered metallic structure that combines multiple needlework implements into a single freestanding unit.
The upper section features a thimble forming the finial or cap of the assembly, decorated with textured patterning across its dome. Beneath the thimble sits a wider shaped body followed by a tapering column that rests on a circular base. The exterior surfaces of the sections are ornamented with bands of engraved, ribbed, and textured geometric motifs throughout the silver-toned metal construction.
