Description: | Copper alloy openwork keyhole escutcheon, 56.8mm long and 41.6mm wide. On the front of the escutcheon, a crown is depicted in relief above the keyhole, with an animal (possibly a lion) climbing up the left side of the keyhole and another animal to the right of the keyhole with its leg reaching out and touching the top of the crown. Below the keyhole, the escutcheon is circular, with two large holes positioned either side of centre, and a central smaller hole below these, on the same axis as the keyhole. There are also three small, irregular holes either side of the keyhole, between the bodies of the animals and the keyhole. The escutcheon appears to be complete and is mostly dark brown, with a few dark green patches. The reverse is undecorated. The keyhole escutcheon is probably 18th century; parallels can be seen in Detector Finds 2, Bailey (page15-16).
