| Title |
Medieval Copper Alloy Candlestick |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete copper alloy Medieval to Post-Medieval candlestick, preserving a large portion of the stem and socket. The socket is cylindrical in shape measuring 23.47mm in external diameter, with a slightly flared rim and decorated with two circumferential grooves around its middle and a similar, single, groove around its base. Below the single groove the socket tapers to the stem and its underside is decorated with a single incised groove. A small moulded band and groove is visible where the stem and socket join. The surviving length of the stem measures 54.56mm, is cylindrical in shape and with a diameter of 13.38mm. Approximately 30mm below the join of the stem and socket the stem is decorated with a transverse protruding disk. Beneath the disk, 21mm of stem survives, however the remainder of the candlestick is lost due to old breaks. The candlestick measures 91.14mm in surviving height, 23.47mm in maximum diameter, and weighs 65.11g.
Candlesticks of this type date to the late fifteenth to sixteenth centuries AD. See in particular Brownsword, 1985 (FRG Datasheet no. 1): nos. 9 and 11 for parallels. |
