Description: | A worn and incomplete copper-alloy lamp suspender. This suspender has three worn arms, now each measuring c11mm in length and c4mm in width. The arms are projecting from the base of a central stem, which is 43.5mm in length and has a large circular suspension loop at its top, it is circular in cross-section. Beneath the centre of the three arms there is a semi-circular projection with a central drilled hole through it. When complete the arms would have had suspension holes near to their tips from which chains would have hung and held a domestic lamp or ecclesiastical censers. Similar lamp suspenders have been found in London and Coventry and are believed to be late 14th or early 15th century in date (Egan 1998, 130-131, fig 99).
