At first glance these fragments might seem to belong to "candelabra" but the scale is wrong. A possible identification is suggested by the support for spits in Montelius 179, 11 and rendered probable by the fact that the arms of a are similar in dimension and appearance to the bit of small rod adhering to MS928b.
