Description: | Fragment of a copper-alloy pipe probably late medieval in date. This fragment is broken off at one end and has three rows of knobs at the other resembling a mace. This is not a mace head as such since these are normally made of iron. One possibility is that this is part of a candle holder from the later medieval period (1300 onwards) although again these objects are much more common in iron. If from a candle holder it might be from the central section of the stand. As this is clearly only a fragment, some 68mm long and 59mm in maximum diameter, it is not easy to identify. A late medieval date is most likely however. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Pooley, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
