Description: | Two circular parts of a medieval lock. The two circular items are both of 36 mm in diameter and 6 mm thick. 48 g and 35 g respectively and 83 g together. They are roughly made of iron, with a plating of another metal, possibly brass. One of the items has a rectangular depression in the centre with a sub-rectangular knob above it. On its reverse there are two sub rectangular raised humps, only just visible. The other item is very similar, only the two raised humps are slightly more prominent and the depression on the reverse less pronounced. The humps and depressions in the object presumably represent the way that these items were moved to allow opening and locking of the lock. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
