Cast copper alloy lamp hanger dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). The object is incomplete with two rectangular arms and the remains of a third arm. The arms are rectangular in cross-section and flare out slightly towards before they terminate in a folded over loop. There is a large regular perforation in the centre of the object through which would have been attached a central shaft or stem. The object has a dark brown patina and is worn.<\/p>\n
The lamp hanger would have been used with chains, to be suspended, and to have hanging lamps suspended from it. A similar example coming from a fourteenth century context from Medieval London, is illustrated in Egan, The Medieval Household, no.357.
