Description: | Copper-alloy key, perhaps from furniture. The bow is sub-triangular and 20 mm wide with rounded corners, and has an openwork design of two circular holes on either side with a symmetrical perforation in between. There is a small knop at the tip. The circular-section stem has two narrow mouldings with a wider rounded moulding in between ('bead and reel') and then tapers slightly to a pierced tip. The bit is long but very simple, with just a tiny cleft cut out of the front edge just below the stem, and an equally tiny one halfway down the rear edge. | 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: | 1600
