Description: | Part of a post-Medieval copper-alloy barrel tap.The piece represents the grip from a rotary tap handle. The two hexangonal-cross-sectioned arms splays outwards from a central point, forming a wide, V-shaped cleft. Each arm curves downwards, tapering towards its distal end, which terminates in an upturned moulding. Part of the vertical shaft extends downwards at the centre.Length: 49.4mm; height: 18.5mm; width: 7.8mm. Weight: 17.13g.A parallel for this form of tap is illustrated by Gordon Bailey, who suggests a date of 18th to mid-19th century (1995: 60/63, fig. 19).
