Description: | Cast copper alloy 17th century barrel tap.It has a birfurcated key at the top, one side of which has broken off. The key forms a T-shape at the top of the tap. The horizontal pieces are curved into atwo arch shapes and have small protruding terminals which extend at 90 degrees to the arch. The base of the T narrows before widening to a collar. Below this is the main body which is a solid cylinder that narrows towards the base. Around one third of the way up from the base there is a rectangular perforation with rounded ends. Taps with bifurcated keys fit in between Medieval and 18th century styles. They date to the 17th century.
