Description: | Post medieval pipe tamper; cast copper alloy pipe tamper in the shape of a prancing male figure, of probable 18th or 19th century date. The figure is clothed in period costume of the Tudor period (tunic and hose), with a hat (which looks later) and he is playing a long horn. The actual tamper is formed from 5 collars, which the figure is standing on. The artefact is quite worn so much of the detail is worn.
