Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy watch key, quatrefoil in shape with circular openwork in the top lobe. Both faces of the key are decorated with moulded flags, cannons and swords in a cross formation in the centre, surrounded by foliage around the edge, as a border. The motifs suggest a military connection. The key is missing its crank that would have attached to its base to wind up the watch. Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example on page 27, No.2, which is dated to the 18th century.
