Description: | Copper alloy key handle. The terminal is a flat fleur-de-lis shape, fairly roughly pierced, which joins a hexagonal shaft, 20mm long, decorated with angled incised lines on every face. The end is obscured by iron corrosion; an iron key was probably slotted in here. The type is Roman but most published examples are the more elaborately moulded larger fleur de lis form.
