Description: | A misshapen sheet copper alloy candle snuffer of Post-Medieval to Modern date (AD 1700 - AD 1900). Length: 71.3mm; width: 50.0mm and 12.1mm thick. Weight: 33.88g. (the weight includes some soil within the object).Prior to being misshapen, the snuffer would have been hollow conical in form. It has a longitudinal soldered seam which has sprung apart due to being crushed. The apex is in the form of spheroidal knop which appears to be solid as the adjacent seam does not extend over its surface. About two thirds distance from the top there is a small and narrow circumferential groove. The base has a rim that curves slightly outwards and then inwards although it is no thicker than the main body of the cone.
