County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete tap handle of Post-Medieval date. The bifurcated terminal survives, but the remainder of the object is now missing due to old breaks. It has the remains of a shaft that has bevelled edges (so is hexagonally faceted) and expands to the terminal itself. The terminal has two arms that curve outwards to rounded ends, both of which are also bevelled or hexagonally faceted. This fragment measures 42.18mm in width, 22.77mm in length, 7.05mm in thickness, and 22.83g in weight. This is possibly the terminal from a tap of Post-Medieval date, similar to an example thought to be …
