Description: | A small key, cast in copper alloy. The bow is circular and fairly small, it has broken or worn through - resulting in the loss of half of the bow. There is no collar next to the bow. The stem appears to be solid, but has a hollowed tip. The stem has a flattened circular section. The bit is simple, consisting of a square plate of copper alloy, with extensions under the stem. The surface is a mid greyish-green colour and is pitted. The key is medieval in date. Parallels can be seen in Egan, p112-3, Fig: 86.
