Ornate silver thimble. 5.9 grams, 3/4" tall and 5/8" in diameter. This must have been the Cadillac of thimbles, common artifacts of the time but rarely seen in thick, heavy, bright, ornamental silver as seen here, a 3-paneled triangular floral pattern, with light toning only, small spot of green encrustation inside. Found at a ca.-1590 Spanish colonial site in the southern Caribbean
