Description: | Cast copper-alloy ?finger-ring with rotary key. The hoop has one straight side (at the junction with the shank and bit) and the curving side, which is incomplete, tapers to a point. The end of the stem is tubular. The bit is incomplete. The form of this key, if part of a finger-ring is different to other known Roman key finger-rings. Since the hoop tapers strongly, and the key is generally robust, it is unclear if this may have served a s a ring ?? although it may have been suspended from its D-shaped handle. | Subjects: | Key | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Worrell, Sally - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
