Description: | Cast copper alloy one-piece key of Medieval date, probably a casket key. The bow is generally oval (L. 14mm. W. 12mm). It is thicker at the junction with the shank, becoming thinner towards the opposite side and the central hole is circular (D. 7.5mm). The shank is undecorated, oval in section and may be hollow, and becomes gradually wider and thicker towards the bit. At the junction with the bit the shank expands sharply, and the end of the shank is open and clearly hollow. The bit is small and thin and very worn. It narrows from the junction with the shank before expanding again. Patchy dark-green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
