Description: | A cast copper alloy bifuricated key handle from a barrel tap. The handle is formed by two arches. The object has two downward curving arms that are lozenge shaped in section and taper to flattened and projecting triangular terminals. The neck is cylindrical, solid and decorated with one band above the lip and two below. The main shaft is solid, cylindrical body and tapers to a flat base. A double-oval shaped hole runs through the shaft. The object had a dark brown patina. These are interpreted as an intermediate type between Medieval and 18th century tap keys, and are dated to the 17th century AD.
