Description: | A cast copper-alloy candlestick probably dating to the Post Medieval period. The base of the candlestick is square in plan with a concave underside and is stepped on the top. The stem is hollow and is wider in the middle. The cup is sub-rectangular in shape and has an elongated oval section. The rim has some raised moulding around the circumferance. There are two round holes in the cup either side of the where the stem is attached. There is a handle attached to the wall of the cup with a copper alloy rivet. The handle is incomplete, however there is a hole at the bottom of the wall of the cup where a second rivet would have attached the other end of the handle. The are four damage holes on the object. One large hole in the wall of the cup, two on the stem and one on the base. The candlestick was cast in three pieces. The cup and stem was cast in two halves as seams can be seen running down either side. The base was cast in another separate piece.
