Description: | A cast copper-alloy multi-socketed candlestick of later Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It has been broken in two but both sockets survive; the break is towards the base. The cups are circular in plan and broadly rectangular in profile. They each have two rectangular holes which are opposite to one another. The cups tapes into the stem which is diamond in profile. The stems curve in a 'V-pattern' to hollow cylindrical base. The base has a lip on its lower edge.There are parallels in both the LMMC (Fig. 55) and in Egan (Egan, 2005: no. 335) which indicate a possible date of the late-15th to 16th centuries, c.1475-1600 AD, or perhaps a little earlier or later.63.59mm x 62.91mm x 20.47mm; 110.44g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
