Description: | A probable copper-alloy socket of a candle holder. Consisting of one cylindrical socket, measuring 38mm in height and 23mm in width. The socket is hollow. The outer face is decorated with two pairs of two circumferencial grooves. The base of the socket tapers and has a cylindrical solid projection in its centre, this projection measures 7mm in width and is 6mm in length, it is difficult to tell if this projection is complete or has been cut/broken. If broken it may be part of the candle holders stem, if complete it is unusual. This socket is most likely to be later medieval or early post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
