Figürlicher, romanischer Zinnleuchter, Nordeuropa, 11./12. Jahrhundert
Dreifüßiger Dornleuchter aus stark bleihaltiger Zinn-Legierung. Die Basis aus drei sitzenden Kriegerfiguren mit normannisch/angelsächsischen, bodenlangen Kettenhemden, mit Nasalhelm und Brünne.

Ein vom Aufbau der Figurengruppen sehr ähnlicher Leuchter befindet sich in der Sammlung des Klosters Rijnsburg in Südholland.
Das Gegenstück aus dem selben Fund wurde 2012 von Hermann Historica versteigert (Auktion 65, Los 551), Zuschlag bei 12.000 Euro.

Pricket candle holder on three feet made from a heavily leaded pewter alloy. The base composed of three sitting warrior figures with Norman/Anglo-Saxon full-length mail shirts, nasal helmets and aventails. Two figures with raised swords, the third one with an axe. Surmounting the group of figures a woman leading a pinioned captive, holding a bird in her right hand. The third figure is a man with a sword, blowing a hunting horn. Slightly curved drip pan with blossom-shaped decorations and remnants of the iron pricket. Height 13 cm.

Another candle holder with a similar arrangement of groups of figures is part of the collection at the Rijnsburg Cloister in South Holland.
