Description: | A small rotary key, cast in copper alloy. The bow is lozenge shaped and fairly small. There is a collar next to the bow. The stem appears to be solid, but has a hollowed tip. The stem has a flattened circular section. The bit is simple, consisting of a square plate of copper alloy. A cleft has been cut on one side of the bit. The surface is a mid greyish-green colour and is pitted. The key is medieval in date. Parallels can be seen in Egan, p112-3, Fig: 86. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
