Description: | A worn medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a seemingly solid stem of oval section with a hollow end; the end has been worn through on both sides. The stem widens slightly towards the bow; the latter is sub-circular in shape with a circular perforation (Dia.: 7.5mm). At the bit end of the stem the stem narrows in a step. The bit tapers in section and is crude and worn. There is perhaps a crude cleft towards the base of the bit on the front face.
