Description: | A Roman copper-alloy key handle from a rotary or slide key. The lower part of the piece is solid and of sub-square section, the vertical edges being rounded rather than angular. This section measures 32mm high by 15mm wide. It has a horizontal rim near the base and the corroded remnants of an iron shaft attached. The upper section consists of a roughly semi circular band measuring 23.1mm wide by 15mm high and 11mm deep. The gap between this band and the lower section of the handle contains two curved protrusions, which serve to split the gap into three separate spaces. The outer edge of the band has incised cross-hatched line decoration. A small circular knob protrudes from the top of the band. Overall, the object measures 51.1mm high by 23.1mm wide and up to 15.7mm thick. It weighs 53.75g.
