Description: | Copper alloy object, consisting of two interlinked pieces. The main piece may be a key; it has an oval loop with projecting, tapering shaft, off of which projects a rectangular openwork loop or bit. This object has a reddish-pink patina. A loop of copper alloy is threaded through the oval loop; this is formed from a single length of metal which has been bent over and the ends squeezed together. It measures 19.46mm by 10.58mm; the measurements below relate to the larger object. The patination of the metal on the key-like object would suggest either an 11th century or a post-Medieval date for this find. | 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: | 1000
