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. | 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: | 1100
