Description: | Cast copper -alloy candlestick in the form of a stylised deer or dog. Long thin body with three two-dimensional legs with square feet surviving. Cropped tail. The thick, conical neck finishes with a very small, poorly-defined head with small ears. The body and neck are hollow. No definition or decoration on body. U-shaped panel between front and hind legs. The remains of a rivet in the centre of the back, suggest where the candle-holder was attached. Dark even patina.
