S/3342 Antique Irish Rushlight
An excellent example of an Irish rushlight attributed to County Kerry. The four leg crown base, with a flat ring, has a twistwork support and a conforming arm with a shaped open seam cone, small rectangular jaws and a large protruding rivet. The whole has an extremely good colour and patination.
An almost identical example is illustrated on page 117 in The Rushlight by Robert Ashleigh.
