The object is complete and has a circular bow with a central circular hole measuring 7.1mm in diameter. The bow is separated from the stem by a simple moulded collar. The stem is oval in section and is decorated with three pairs of diagonally-orientated lines. At the end of the stem is a slightly bent projecting tip. The bit is very simple in design, with just one ward at the bottom.
The key measures 34.7mm long, 11.5mm high and 4mm thick. The weight is 3.05g. | Subjects: | Casket | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
