Description: | Incomplete and crushed large copper-alloy key. Most of the bow is missing and the original shape cannot be reconstructed. There is a moulding at the junction of the bow and the stem; the stem was originally hollow, and is now squashed and split with the very end missing. The bit is elaborate, with a deep cleft perpendicular to the stem which divides it into two; both halves have further shorter clefts and channels. The closest parallel in Egan 1998 is no. 313, which was excavated from a late 13th/early 14th century context. Surviving length 67 mm, 'width' (top of stem to base of bit) 25 mm, thickness 7 mm. | Subjects: | rotary | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
