Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval lamp hanger. The hanger has three arms (to suspend chains for the lamp) projecting from a central upright suspension arm with loop at the top. All three of the arms are incomplete. Immediately below the three arms is a small circular perforation, possibly for another suspended element. From beneath the central element is the remains of small tab, the purpose and function of which is uncertain. A similar example from medieval London is recorded in Egan (1998:131) number 357 and is dated to the fourteenth century AD.
