Description: | An incomplete copper alloy medieval folding candle holder of c.14th century date. Only the handle survives, which is square in cross section and pointed at one end. A flat semi-circular tab extends from one side of the blunt end, with three notches around the outer edge and a small circular hole in the centre with a hinge pin that would have allowed it to pivot when attached to the rest of the holder. The upper side of the handle is decorated with a pair of curved recessed hollows. A very similar example is illustrated by Egan (1998:147, fig.115).
