Description: | Cast cu-alloy key dating from the medieval period, i.e. c. 15th/16th century. The key is complete with a hollow stem, an oval/circular suspension loop at the top and a bit a the end. The stem is slightly bent and a fragment at the end might be missing. However, the bit itself is complete. The key is not decorated, but has a little collar between the suspension loop and the stem. There is a slit in the suspension loop which may have helped sliding the key onto a key ring or else, to cut it off a key ring. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
