Polycandela

Circular, with 6 circular apertures for holding lamps. Attached by means of large loops are three chains which join up to a large hook for suspension.

Fitzgerald: “Notable amongst them are the bronze chandeliers or polycandela, from House VI, Room 29. These are frames made to hold glass oil-vessels or ordinary clay lamps, and were he means ordinarily employed for illuminating churches, from the roofs of which they were suspended by chains. This is another example, from the same room, on which the chains are seen attached to the frame”
