Title
Late Medieval - Early Post-Medieval candlestick
Description
English: A fragment of Late Medieval to Early Post-Medieval (c. 1475 - 1600) cast and turned copper alloy candlestick, consisting of the damaged and rather squashed socket and top of the stick only. It measures 43.10x31.07mm and weighs 27.61g.

The open end of the socket is rather squashed, now measuring 31.07x19.49mm (internal 26.47x16.14mm),while at its base it measures 25.09mm in diameter. It is c.32mm deep but does not have a closed base, instead the stick is hollow and extends from the base 13.65mm in diameter (internal 10.26mm).

The socket is decorated to the outside with a pair of concentric grooves and at the base a pair of concentric ribs. Above the former are three equidistant rivet holes 2.5mm in diameter, one of which has been broken across (old breaks).
