Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy candle holder of Medieval or Post-Medieval date. The saucer and part of the attachment are missing due to old breaks but the rest remains. The cup is hexagonal in shape and circular in section and the rim has a raised collar. Two opposite faces have elongated sub-rectangular slots with rounded ends. Above this slot, immediately below the collar, is a circular opening. At the base of the cup is an integrally cast incomplete ring mount which would have been riveted to a saucer.The recorder has not seen the object and the identification is from the photograph. Unfortunately accurate measurements are not possible.
