Description: | Medieval? copper alloy tap, 71mm long and 16mm in diameter. The tap is in a good condition with a greenish patina and weighs 52.18 grams. The object is circular in section and L shaped in form, curving slightly three quarters of the way down its length. It tapers in width slightly from C.10mm to 16mm. Where the object curves it has a square sectioned protrusion/stand which although cast in one piece, is shaped as though its attached to the outside of the tap. It has a raised triangular section protruding from each side which is 'wrapped' around the curve in the tap. A similar object is illustrated in Egan, G. The Medieval Household fig 189. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
