Description: | A copper-alloy socket of a candle holder. Consisting of one cylindrical socket, measuring 39mm in height and 25mm in width, it has a circular cross-section. The socket is hollow, the outer face is decorated with two pairs of two circumferencial grooves, one around the rim and one around the centre of the socket. The underside of the base of the socket tapers and has an incomplete cylindrical solid stem in its centre, this projection measures 10mm in width and is 30mm in length. It has a circumferencial ridge around it before its incomplete end, which shows signs of an old break. This socket is most likely to be later medieval or early post-medieval in date, circa 1450-1600, it is similar to a candle holder socket found at Hessett, Suffolk (see SF-90B836). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1450
