Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy branched double socket candlestick. Only a fragment of the candlestick branch remains. The branch, in plan is a wide 'V' shape, and the branch is a pointed oval with rounded edges in section. The width of one branch expands slightly in width, whereas the other branch tapers slightly in width. The surface of the branch has a mottled mid green/grey patina. It measures 46.82mm across from the arms terminal to terminal, 13.89mm wide across the cylinder. It weighs 23.16g. Brownsword (Brownsword, R, 1985 'English Latten Domestic Candlesticks 1400-1700' Finds Research Group 700-1700 No. 1.) illustrates a branched double socket type of candlestick, Figure 3 and dates these to the late 15th to early 16th centuries.
