Description: | Medieval? copper alloy key, 44mm long, 7mm wide and with a shaft diameter of 7mm. The object is in fair condition with a greenish brown patina and weighs 8.02 grams. The key has a rectangular bit 16mm long, which has a small slit out of the lower surface near the shaft and another in the opposite corner. The shaft is circular sectioned and just below the handle it widens forming a semi-circular band about 4mm wide and just above that is a more spherical protrusion about 6mm wide. The handle has a circular band bordering it but has broken off, the remains of two loops can be seen and there was presumably a third above these. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
