Description: | An incomplete and worn copper-alloy candlestick of Post-Medieval date. Only the socket survives, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn. The socket is cylindrical in shape measuring 24.13 mm in external diameter. It is decorated with three bands of moulding; a triple band at the top and in the middle, and a double band at the base. Below this it tapers to a projecting stub, with the underside decorated with a circular groove. This candlestick measures 46.13 mm in length, 2.94 mm in thickness at the socket mouth, 59.4 g in weight. Candlesticks of this type date to the late fifteenth to sixteenth centuries AD. There are parallels in Brownsword, 1985 (FRG Datasheet no. 1): nos. 9 and 11.
