Description: | T-bitted. Chamberlain's key., Ornate Chamberlain's key, 18th century, Germany.
Large empty bow may once have contained something as there is slight damage on the inner surfaces. Two creatures, one either side of the bow facing outwards, layered with acanthus foliage and supporting a cap above which is a cross patee. The cap is hollow and may once have had a chain threaded through. Lower bow bears a shield on a cross within a hollow oval, the whole on a solid field garlanded with acanthus leaves. The shield itself bears an heraldic lion (passant?). This entire design is replicated on the reverse.
Cylindrical ferrule with grooved border. Long, broad shank with slight discolouration in the metal. Hollow pin. Large T-shaped bit cut with cruciform and trefoil designs.,
