Description: | Cast copper alloy Medieval barrel padlock dating to c.12-1400.The case is octagonal in section and appears solid. A rectangular piece can be seen in the end of the case which is probably a strip running the length of the case as part of the locking mechanism. At one end of the case is a projecting sub-rectangular arm (tab). At 90 degrees to the tab, parallel to the case, runs the bolt bar; this narrows to a point where it sits in the catch. The bolt bar is circular in cross section. In both the tab and the catch there is a circular perforation. The padlock is complete and in very good condition. File marks are visible as are some markings which may be decoration on the upper faces.
