Description: | An incomplete wrought iron and cast copper alloy key of probable Roman date. The probable key comprises the heavily corroded iron stem and the incomplete copper alloy handle. In its current state it measures 35.5mm by 24mm by 23mm and weighs 19.4g. The handle is cuboid-shaped, with four equally-spaced protrusions from the face opposite the iron stem. These may be the stubs of two (or three) loops, forming a handle similar to an example from south-east Lincolnshire which features in Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Anitquity' (2001, p. 69, no. 522). | Subjects: | Rotary | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
