Description: | A post-medieval cast copper alloy tap (17th - early 18th century). All that survives is the terminal of the tap, which resembles a moustache. A similar tap is illustrated in Margeson (1993, p137 fig. 932) which is dated to the first half of the 17th century. Margeson (1993, p138) notes "taps with bifurcated keys are seen as an intermediate stage between Medieval tap keys in the form of a cockerel, fleur-de-lis or openwork trefoil, and the flat-topped T-shaped keys of the 18th century. They were used with cisterns."
