Description: | A small rotary key, cast in copper alloy. The bow is circular and fairly small. There is no collar next to the bow. The stem appears to be solid, part way, but the terminal of the stem is hollow.
The stem is circular in section but it has been flattened. The bit is simple, consisting of two wards - one is adjacent to the underside of the bit, the other has been separated from the first by a cleft. There is no projecting tip. But this section has been broken.
The surface is a mid reddish-brown colour and is heavily pitted. The key is medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
