Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy tinned candle holder (possibly). The base is circular and concave, with a damaged central projection. A cylindrical stem extends upwards from the base expanding outwards to form a damaged and incomplete socket with three upward projections (originally six, however three are missing). One projection is rectangular with a rounded terminal with a small knop to either side. This is bordered on each side by a sub-rectangular projection with concave sides terminating in two broken knops. These decorative projections would have presumably helped to hold a candle in the socket. It is 46.85mm long, the base is 28.20mm in diameter, the stem is 6.86mm in diameter increasing to 27.14mm in diameter at the base of the socket. It weighs 32.1 grams.
