Description: | A worn medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a solid stem of rectangular section with rounded corners. The bow is oval in shape and is divided from the stem by a collar. The crude bit is 9.4mm long and features a step. The literature (see sample references below) is somewhat contradictory so, given the worn condition of this object, a wide medieval date range is offered. | Subjects: | rotary key casket | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
