Description: | A conical copper alloy candle snuffer, made by rolling a sheet of copper alloy and overlapping the metal. Rather crude in manufacture, it has a crescent shaped loop at the top of the cone which may have been decorative but may also have once formed a complete loop for suspension. The deep brown and green patina suggests an early date, possibly medieval.
The candle snuffer measures 34.23mm long and 11.53mm maximum diameter. It weighs 3.8gms. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Byard, Anni - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
