Description: | Copper alloyPossible Spout fragment. Cast tube of diameter 10mm with a lug resembling a broad fleur de lis with central aperture and an adjacent longitudinal ridge; the tube is slightly constricted at the mid-point of this fragment, an internal detail revealed by loss of one of its sides. One end of the tube is flat and angled, presumably facilitating pouring, the other end is broken, probably in antiquity. The construction is robust and the lug may have enabled the tube to be turned as part of a tap. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Medieval, 1300-1400.Length (tube): 21.8mm, Diameter (tube): 15mm, Height (includes lug): 32.1mm, Thickness (tube wall): 4.8mm, Weight: 21.77gms.
