Description: | A cast copper alloy clock key of probable seventeenth century date. The key measures 83.2mm by 32.6mm by 9.1mm and weighs 32.2g. The flat bow comprises two flat oval loops, one of which is larger than the other. It is decorated with fairly crude incised decoration. Between the bow and the stem, which has a circular cross-section, there are two circumferential ribs. The bit consists of two cylinders which extend beyond the end of the stem. A similar example features in 'Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Exeter' (1984, pp. 344-5, fig. 193, no. 190). The Exeter example was discovered in a late 17th century context. | Subjects: | Clock | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
