Description: | A fragment from the base of a Medieval copper alloy candlestick. It is circular in form with a hollow base and a dished upper surface with a lip around the edge. In the centre of this is an irregular break where the socket would have been attached. Concentric circles on all surfaces suggest that it was finished by turning. It is of the simple 'bunsen' form and therefore is probably of 15th century date according to Saunders (2012, 116).A similar, but more complete example is recorded on the database from North Yorkshire: LVPL-417C75, and a very similar ceramic version has been found in London: LON-95CF74Diameter: 67.0mm, thickness: 25.0mm, weight: 37.38g
