Description: | A Medieval copper alloy lamp suspender (last 14th ? early 15th century). The lamp suspender has three equally spaced ?arms?; the end of each one is broken and missing. Originally these three arms were perforated near the ends. The arms branch from a square-sectioned post that terminates in a loop. From below the centre of the three arms is another loop. The branched lamp holder is similar to two excavated from London and dated to the late 14th to early 15th centuries (Egan, 1998: 130-131 no. 357). Dark green patina.
