Description: | A small rotary key, cast in copper alloy. The bow is circular, with a pointed terminal. There is no collar next to the bow. The shank is solid. The entire key has flat sides, therefore meaning that the shank is flat. The bit is simple, consisting of an off-set bit, which juts out from below the shank. The bit itself has been cut vertically forming three downward clefts. The surface is a dark greyish-brown colour and is pitted. The key is medieval in date. Similar keys can be seen in Egan, p112-3, Fig: 86.
