Title
Candlestick fragment
Description
English: Late medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD1475 - c. AD1600) cast and turned copper alloy candlestick. Only part of the stick remains but the socket for the candle and the separate base are missing. The stick and socket are circular in section. The stick had two evenly spaced raised collars (one of which is missing) and thickens slightly just before the socket.

A candlestick of similar design is illustrated by Brownsword and dated late fifteenth/sixteenth centuries (Brownsword 1985, 'English Latten Domestic Candlesticks 1400-1700'. no. 7). Similar candlesticks or candle holders are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see IOW-EEB477, NCL-9794D5 and SUR-C1D304. A more complete object was recorded here: SOM-581B96.
