Description: | Elaborate large copper alloy key. The key has a lozenge shaped bow with a narrowed area at the top angle, presumably to allow the key to be hung. The side angles each terminate with a moulded knop. The bow has a collar beneath comprising a large reel with a narrow collar to either side. The shaft is hollow and circular in cross-section, with an elaborate bit. The shaft is decorated with a criss-cross design of paired lines, similar to the design commonly found on purse bars.
