Lower edge with lozengiform fillet filled with vertical lines at each of the three intersections between leaves. There is a circular perforated collar at the apex for a (missing) separate shaft. Reconstructed width approx, 104mm, height of base 50mm. Cf. an elaborate enamelled candlestick of similar form, if not decoration, in Enamels of Limoges 1100-1350, no.37.
