Description: | Medieval suspension unit from a lamp or censer. The item has a vertical arm with a loop, from the arm three horizontal arms extend, two are incomplete. The complete arm has a suspension loop and the broken ones presumably would have originally too. There is a futher loop under the centre where the arms meet. The artefact is 31 mm high and measures 25 mm from the centre to the end of the complete arm. Similar examples are illustrated in Egan 'The Medieval Household' (1998, 131; 356-357) and on this database (see for example NMS-3C7765, NMS-CEFE11). The artefact may date from the 14th to 15th centuries.
