Description: | Possibly a medieval (14th-15th century) cast copper alloy lamp hanger. It is sub-triangular in plan, and curved in profile. There are three arms ?? one significantly longer than the other ?? each terminating in an incomplete suspension loop. There is a semi-circular knop between each of these arms. The knop between the two shorter arms has a circular hole. The apex of the fitting has a fourth arm extending at a right angle from the main body; this arm has a circular cross section, and a larger, incomplete suspension loop; the corresponding surface on the reverse of the mount has a worn break, possibly where a fifth arm would have projected. It is 59.09mm long, 49.48mm wide and weighs 38.21 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
