AI overview
A thimble is a small protective covering worn on the finger, traditionally used during sewing to prevent the needle from pricking the skin and to help push needles through fabric more easily. It has been an important tool for sewing and needlework for centuries, as evidenced by its depiction in historical crafts documentation dating back to at least the 16th century.

頂針是一種裁縫時戴於某個手指，用來保護手指免遭针刺伤的殼狀物。 最早的頂針由羅馬龐貝城出土，材質為青銅，製造時間為西元前79年。在今英國的聖奧爾本斯也發現了羅馬的頂針，現保存於博物館。 頂針的材料包括金屬、皮革、橡皮、木頭、玻璃或瓷。早期的頂針有時會以鯨骨、角、象牙製成，天然材質包括石材、貝等材質。使用鑽石、藍寶石或紅寶石的頂針則非常少見。
