Description: | T-bitted. Chamberlain's key., T-bitted Chamberlain's Key, 18th century, German.
Large ornamental bow made up of two differing wreaths, to one side a wreath of leaves, to the other a wreath of what appears to be grass. Between the two is a large ornamental, the whole topped with a crown, arched and capped (apparently in the style of a German prince). The leaves and grasses grow from the spherical ferrule.
Shank is plain of ornamentation with no discernable collar. Pin has a pronounced ball ending. The bit itself is hollow, no teeth or clefts, and in the shape of a 'T'.
The colouring is now dark but this is due to tarnishing. It was probably gold in colour.,
