Description: | A cast copper alloy tap dating to the Post-Medieval period, c.1600-1750. The object has a hollow tubular body and a zoomorphic head or spout. A vertical perforation behind the head would have taken a tap key, now missing. The object has a dark brownish green patina.Similar examples can be seen on the database:NCL-D87D48, BERK-E26C94, where it is speculated as the tap for a decorated ewer or some other tabletop vessel rather than a larger storage vessel.
