Description: | A Late Medieval copper-alloy lamp suspender.The uppermost element of the object is a vertical arm with hexagonal cross section, at the apex of which is a rounded and perforated loop. Three further arms, roughly equally spaced, project outwards from the base of the vertical arm and angle slightly downwards from the horizontal plane. Each of these three arms is of rectangular cross section and tapers to a wedge-shaped end, beneath which is a flattened and perforated loop. A fifth and final loop is set at the centre of the hanger's underside.Height: 29.8mm; length: 32.3mm; width: 25.9mm. Weight: 11.47g.Similar hangers were found in excavations in London, where the contexts suggested a date range of late 14th to early 15th century (Egan 1998: 130-131).
