Description: | Socket and part of stem from a copper-alloy candle-holder or candlestick. The socket is 22 mm in external diameter and has very faint traces of circumferential decoration; a groove very near the mouth, and a slight ridge halfway down the socket. The socket is straight for a length of 30 mm and then narrows, but is still hollow, to form a hollow and undecorated stem 12 mm in diameter. The candle-holder fragment is 75 mm long. The break is fairly recent.
This type of straight cylindrical socket dates from the 15th or 16th century (Brownsword 1985). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
