Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy funnel from a post-medieval (1600-1800) candle snuffer. The snuffer is conical in profile with a small U shape indentation at the top. It is decorated with a double circumferential band from which extends a small loop. The body of the snuffer is also decorated with a series of similar incised circumferential lines. The surface of the snuffer is slightly corroded with traces of iron staining (possibly from the other fittings). The surface is a dark green colour with a patchy patina which covers most surfaces. The candle snuffer measures 36.4mm length, 16.6mm diameter at mouth, has an internal depth of 27.6mm and weighs 13.65 grams | 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: | 1600
