Description: | A copper-alloy chamber from a Medieval to post-Medieval candlestick.The circular-sectioned chamber is at its widest at the top, below which the diameter gradually decreases. The base of the chamber is open; projecting beneath are two outward-bowing arms, the bases of which are linked by a flat-sectioned ring with internal screw thread. A groove extends around the chamber, a short distance down from the top.Height: 46.4mm; width: 20.3mm; weight: 27.7g.Similar candlesticks have been found in Late Medieval and early post-Medieval layers in London (see Ward Perkins 1967: 177 - 182/fig. 55; also Egan 2005: 80/fig. 68).
