Yesterday’s Mystery Object was a Spigot.
This spigot is made of wood. A spigot is a tool that would let liquid flow out of a barrel, just like a faucet. Instead of opening the barrel to access the water, wine, or ale inside, a hole would be made in the side of the barrel for the spigot. By turning the handle on top of the spigot, the liquid could flow through a series of holes and liquid would come out. By turning it again, you can cut off the flow of liquid so that it stays in the barrel.
