AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning Moorish thimble from the 9th/10th century. Personally I always feel it’s a pity to polish finds from the ground, but that’s been done for this thimble. The advantage is that you can clearly see the excellent condition of this object. Rare thimble, certainly in this quality.
Photos are an essential part of the item description so that you can form your own opinion in advance.
Note: Combined shipping applies only within the European Union! I am not responsible for import duties or taxes if applicable.
The seller guarantees that they obtained this lot legally. The lot comes from a Dutch collection.
Seller's Story
I am also a collector and lover of antiques. I try to offer you good collectibles at a fair price. Everything I offer is original, authentic and not restored! I explicitly mention any drawbacks in the object description or show them in the photos. Have fun collecting and good luck bidding.
