Description: | The copper-alloy case and hasp of a barb and spring (barrel) padlock. Measuring 28.2mm in length and 9.7mm in thickness. The hollow case has an octagonal cross-section and the top two faces on either side of the case are decorated with longitudinal grooves. The lower three faces have two parallel transverse grooves at either end. The hasp consists of a vertical rectangular part, projecting at right angles from the key hole end of the case, with a central circular perforation. It then has a long arm, which runs parallel to the case.
Very similar barrel padlocks have been discovered at Winchester and dated to the medieval period, c15th century (Biddle 1990, 1010-1012, fig 313, no 3666, 3667). | Subjects: | barb and spring | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
