Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy tap handle. One arm of the handle remains and this is moulded forming a asymmetrical crescent with the apex forming the upper edge. The tap handle is hexagonal in section and tapers towards the terminal. The terminal is an upturned knop. The handle break is a quite a recent break. The surface of the handle has a well developed mid green patina. It measures 24.12mm long from terminal to terminal, 12.22mm wide and 8.47mm thick. It weighs 8g.
Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58) illustrates an almost identical tap handle, No. 932, and dates this to the first half of the 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
