Description: | The key has a solid stem throughout, except for the bit terminal which is slightly hollowed. The bit in plan is rectangular with a small rectangular block connecting the bit with the stem. The bit has a series of horizontal grooves on either side, and one on the base of the bit. The base also has a low relief incised cross which has serifs on the horizontal bar on one half. The bit shows signs of wear. The terminal towards the handle has a moulded bulbous decoration with a slight collar. The handle is incomplete which may have been a quatrefoil originally, however only two 'petals' remain. The handle has openwork in the centre. 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: | 1300 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
