Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy bifuricated tap key of Post-Medieval date. The base of the key below the terminal is incomplete due to old breaks, as is one terminal. It has the remains of a shaft that is circular in section, expanding to the bifuricated terminal. This has two downward curving arms that are lozenge shaped in section, the complete arm tapering to a flattened terminal end. It measures 42.71mm in width, 20.04mm in height/length, 10.44mm in thickness, and weighs 22.08g.This is a Post-Medieval barrel tap key similar to an example published from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 932; see also SF-3FE253, LVPL-9FED07 and HAMP-AD8358). These are interpreted as an intermediate type between Medieval and 18th century tap keys, and are dated to the 17th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
