It measures 17.6x12.6mm with a hole at the centre 10x(max)7.8mm. The bow rests on a double moulding from which extends the upper part of the stem in copper alloy. Below the mouldings (which give a 13mm width) the stem is 7.9mm wide and 5mm thick. This narrows and thickens over 6.8mm to 7.8mm wide and 5.8mm thick. Below is a single rib moulding. All mouldings stand proud of the object.The iron stem is c.7x7mm in square section.The key weighs 9.39g.
