Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy key dating to the medieval period. The key comprises a hollow, circular-sectioned stem, which widens towards the bit. The tip is hollow and badly damaged. The stem of the key is undecorated, but has a collar around the end next to the bow. The bow is completely missing, due to the break. There is a channel below the stem. The bit is roughly rectangular in shape and has three wards which extend downwards, forming two clefts. Similar to Egan, p113, 313. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
