Description: | The remaining portions of the key are its shank and bit. The shank is oval shaped in cross section with a slight decorative swelling at one end. The swelling terminates with a curved ' < ' shape which forms part of the handle, however the terminals of the '<' shape are broken. The shank is solid until the opposite terminal where the shank is hollowed. The bit, in plan, is shaped 'J' with a horizontal bar across the top. The horizontal bar is in high-relief compared to the vertical stem of the 'J' shape. The key has a mid-green patina. | 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: | 1066
