Description: | Copper alloy and iron possible Candle Holder. Cast moulded object, possibly of Neo-Classical style, with a vase or baluster-shaped body, narrowed to a flat foot at one end, and sharply constricted and then opening out again as a socket with six rounded petals about it (two lost). Inscribed circumferential lines on the top of the baluster element and single or in pairs around the socket may have been executed with the object spinning on a lathe. Ferrous corrosion at the flat base and at the base of the socket hints at an iron or steel rod passing through the object, and presumably attaching it to a further basal element. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1750.Height: 63.9mm, Diameter: 30.1mm, Weight: 54.17gms.
