Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy branched double socket candlestick. Only one fragment of a branch remains of the candlestick. The branch terminates with a circular horizontal loop which has a ??C?? shaped protrusion from integrally to one edge. The junction to the loop and protrusion forms a spur on the underside. The ??C?? shape has a sub-lozenge section. The terminal of the protrusion goes on with a short shaft which terminates with a break. This break is not recent. The candlestick branch measures 53.06mm from terminal to terminal and 15.38mm wide across the loop. It weighs 33g. The surface of the branch has a mottled mid green and dark grey matte patina.
Brownsword (Brownsword, R, 1985 ??English Latten Domestic Candlesticks 1400-1700?? Finds Research Group 700-1700 No. 1.) illustrates a branched double socket type of candlestick, Figure 3 and dates these to the late 15th to early 16th centuries. | Subjects: | Double-Branched | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
