Description: | Fragment of a copper-alloy pipe probably late medieval in date. This fragment is broken off at one end and has three rows of knobs at the other resembling a mace. This is not a mace head as such since these are normally made of iron. One possibility is that this is part of a candle holder from the later medieval period (1300 onwards) although again these objects are much more common in iron. If from a candle holder it might be from the central section of the stand. As this is clearly only a fragment, some 68mm long and 59mm in maximum diameter, it is not easy to identify. A late medieval date is most likely however. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
