Medieval lantern - detail |

Description |
English: An incomplete and rather squashed sheet copper alloy Medieval (1250-1400) lantern, now in eight pieces. It would originally have been cylindrical in shape. It is missing a door (probably of transparent horn) to the front, several binding strips, a handle, base and top. It measures c.197mm in length (185mm without rectangular projection) and 121.02mm in (squashed) width, and weighs 113.16g. The patina overall is smooth and shiny with patches that are rougher both on the inside and outside surfaces. The largest fragment of the lantern (c.147x121.02mm) consists of just over half of the left edge (if viewed from front) with the decorative panel above the missing door, and reaching across the middle to the lower right side. It has a horizontal binding strip (across the centre back of the lantern) 9.20mm wide and 0.54mm thick, held in place with a rivet at either end (c.1.5mm diameter). The central portion of this (6.42mm wide) has traces of a fixant (solder?) for an additional (and perhaps decorative) strip - perhaps the separate narrow strip described below. Compare the lantern, probably of 14th-century date, found at Smithfield in London (Ward-Perkins 1940, fig. 58, no. 1, A1366; Egan 1998, fig. 118, p. 150-1). |
