A medieval iron candle holder dating AD 1270-1400. The object consists of a single cup, formed by folding a rectangular iron sheet with rounded ends to create a cylinder. There are two stems, both are squared and taper to a point but have been rounded but wear. There is a large amount of sediment contained within the cup.
Examples of medieval candle holders can be found in Egan (1998, 142-143) though this example seems to be a hybrid of the straight-stem and the right-angled stem types. Both types date from AD 1270-1400.
Dimensions: length: 133.49 mm; width: 99.70 mm; diameter of cup: 24.25 mm; weight: 117.05g.

Probable Medieval (12th to 15th centuries) trivet or candle holder: The copper alloy stand appears to form a three legged stand, of which only two legs remain. The legs are oval in section which continues upwards to form an arm with a possible zoomorphic terminal. Only one complete arm remains, the other is missing but the break is not too recent. The two legs are joined by an integral sub-triangular platform with a central circular perforation which is incomplete due to breaks. The breaks again are not recent. The surface of the item has a well developed mid green patina. It measures 40.49mm tall from the foot to the zoomorphic head, 54.88mm wide from foot to foot and weighs 36.3g.
While no exact parallel has been found the style appears Medieval and is similar in form to trivets and more elaborate three legged candle holders. Similar items on the PAS database include HAMP-89E851 and SUSS-5E2F87.
