Description: | Fragment of a Post Medieval copper-alloy tap that has a curved hexagonal spout with a cylindrical terminal, a prominent stop-ridge separatets the two on the upper half. The fragment of spout beyond the ridge is faceted. The spout is broken near where it would have meet the key housing. See LIN-AA6A76 and LVPL-71F288 for similar examples. This example dates to the 17th - early 18th century.Margeson (1993:138) notes "taps with bifurcated keys are seen as an intermediate stage between Medieval tap keys in the form of a cockerel, fleur-de-lis or openwork trefoil, and the flat-topped T-shaped keys of the 18th century"
