Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy keyhole cover with globular body and pointed knop. There are two sets of moulded lines, one on the upper half of the body as it narrows towards the neck, and one on the lower half, as it narrows towards the knop. The top of the neck where the cover would have attached to the drawer or item of furniture has broken off and is missing. The cover is hollow backed and convex in section.
Cuddeford (1994) illustrates a similar complete example on page 42, No.101, which is dated to the 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
