Description: | A cast copper alloy handle from a late Post Medieval candle holder, chamber stick, or saucer candle stick, probably dating from the 18th or 19th century. The object comprises a loop with a flat rectangular plate integral at the top and a short pointed projection at the bottom. The loop is sub-rectangular in cross-section. With the forefinger through the loop, and the thumb resting on the plate, the projection comfortably rests against the second finger. A second projection from near the bottom of the loop is a strip which is broken at the end. This would have connected the handle to the saucer. The object has a mid brown patina.A similar example which can be found on the database is Downes, A (2012) SWYOR-B13D83 A POST MEDIEVAL CANDLE HOLDER Webpage available at: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/480240.Reference: Butler, R. and Butler V. 2001.
