Description: | Copper alloy bifurcating tap key of post-medieval date. The arm fragment is arched and tapers to a flat, circular terminal (W. 8.94-6.04mm. Th. 11.96-8.3mm). It is broadly oval in section. There is a longitudinal ridge along the top and down the centre on each side of the arm. These taps, with bifurcating keys, form an intermediate stage between the medieval taps with cockerel, fleur-de-lis or openwork trefoil shaped keys, and the flat-topped T-shaped keys of the 18th century. Mid-green patina. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1601
