Description: | Incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy rotary key, for use with a casket or similar. The bow is round with a circular cross section. The stem is solid and has broken before the tip, probably resulting in the loss of one of the two lugs which made up the bit. The end of the stem may have been hollow, as there is a recess immediately before the break. The remnant of the bit is rectangular in cross section. Most of the surface is missing, but a low moulding is discernible on the collar.The stem is distorted. | Subjects: | Casket | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
