Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment from the base of a candle holder with a raised rib running around the circumference of the fragment, at the broken upper edge, and another rib, 7 mm in height, creating a raised edge at the base. The base of the fragment is everted in profile and is slightly bent and damaged at one side, so that the original curvature is difficult to determine, but it appears to suggest a diameter of about 200 mm at the base narrowing to about 150 mm at the broken edge. The bevelled base is 2 mm thick which then tapers to the body which is 1 mm thick.Ottaway and Rogers (2002) illustrate an incomplete candlo holder base with raised ribs on page 2857, fig.1434, no.13006, which is dated from the later Medieval period.Egan (2005) illustrates flared bases for larger candlestick holders on page 80, fig.68, nos.333 & 335a, which are dated from the late 15th century to the early 16th century.
