Description: | A corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy barrel tap spout. The portion of the tap spout which remains is the tube which is inseted into the barrel. This is circular in section and is swollen at the mid point. The terminal in the barrel is a broken edge and this is not recent. The exterior of this portion of the spout has horizontal striations. The opposite terminal is that which would have originally been joined to the tap. This terminal is expanded and oval shape in plan with a rectangular slot leading to he tubular element of the spout. In profile this terminal has a '(' shape to it. The surface of the barrel tap spout has a mottled mid to dark grey/green patina. It measures 80.12mm long, 27.73mm wide, 17.75mm thick and weighs 55.2g.A tap of probable contemporary date can be found illustrated in Bailey (1995, 62; ref. 16). This example probably dates to between 1600 and 1800.
