Description: | Clover-leaf triple pipe and shank. T-bitted. Modified, comb warded. Fabricated bow. Box of wards., Very large and ornate key with chamber lock. 16th century. Spanish?
Bow consists of two volutes back to back creating a pear-shape, fashioned from separate sheets of metal and brazed together. The ferrule is pedastal in fashion and very large attached to a shank which has a quatrefoil section all the way through. There is no discernable collar and the pin end, which continues with the quatre foil section, is hollow in each of the three segments. The bit is very large with a T-section. There are six teeth and elaborate geometric wards.
The chamber is cut with the matching ward shapes to allow the key to pass through. This is slightly damaged along the top.,
