Description: | Copper alloy lamp suspender. The object is a branched suspender, and has a central vertical arm with a loop at the top, and three lower arms splayed below. Each arm would have terminated with a loop, however only one now remains. There is a further loop in the centre of the base. All of the arms are of rectagular cross-section.
Objects such as this are thought to be suspenders for lamps, and similar but more robust fittings are known from the top element of medieval censers. A full discussion of probable lamp suspenders is published in Egan, 1998, pp130-133. | 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: | 1375
