CANDLE HOLDER
Unique ID: SWYOR-B13D83
Object type certainty: Certain
A copper alloy handle from a late Post Medieval candle holder, chamber stick, or saucer candle stick, probably dating from the 18th or 19th century. The object comprises a loop (with sub-rectangular cross-section) with a flat rectangular plate integral at the top and a short pointed projection at the bottom. With the forefinger through the loop, and the thumb resting on the plate, the projection comfortably rests against the second finger. A second projection from near the bottom of the loop is a strip which is broken at the end. This would have connected the handle to the saucer. Compare LON-F43BC4 and SWYOR-8AC357, both of which cite references.
