Description: | Elaborate cast copper alloy key finial; design focused upon a central openwork diamond, each corner develops into a protruding tear-shaped lobe with central circular piercings, (in the case of the L.H. example pierced through the thickness of the metal); the areas between each of the lobes are occupied by deeply concave lipped collars; the terminal of the bottom lobe is stepped to produce a protruding rectangular flange; the surface of the metal is pitted through corrosion; no close parallels known. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
