Post Medieval Pipe Tamper |
||
| Description |
English: Incomplete cast copper alloy post medieval pipe tamper in the shape of a woman lifting her skirts. The tamper part is missing, the break is abraded, and only the decorative handle remains. The female figure is rather crude or stylised and is wearing a dress and has her hair tied up in a bun or bee hive hair cut at the back of her head. She is lifting her skirt which is held in her hands at either side and between her teeth at the front. The creases and folds of the dress are delineated by shallow grooves and shows a contrast between a horizontally aligned panel on the centre of the back and vertical folds to either sides. The lines on the skirt are more pronounced to show the rumpled/folded nature of the cloth. A possible trail or petticoat can be seen falling from the skirt at the back behind her legs. The metal has a dark green patina.
Pipe tampers with figures of female nudes or women kissing or involved in sexual intercourse with men are fairly common. Comparable tampers showing women lifting their skirts on the PAS database include examples from Hampshire (SUR-94B6F7) Northamptonshire (NARC-B411F2) from Cumbria (LVPL81) and a lead example from Powys in Wales (CPAT-9B27A2) for which a broad range of post medieval dates between the 17th and 19th century have been proposed
It is 48.5mm long,19mm wide and 10.5mm thick. It weighs 24g |
