Small hand lanterns were used in the medieval period whenever portable lighting was needed. They often featured a handle at the back for easy portability. This classic Trefoil design is based on similar examples found in museums, dated to 1200-1400 A.D. Here are some examples of lantern panels with Trefoils and Quatrefoils from the Portable Antiquities Scheme in the U.K.
