Description: | Copper ally key. The bow is broadly D-shaped in section as the upper surface is convex and the reverse is flat. At one end of the bow there are pointed projections on either side at the junction of the shank and bow. The shank is sub-lozenge shaped with convex outer edges and a circular central aperture. There are two sub-rectangular lobes projecting from the shank. The shank is recessed from the bow. At the other end of the bow there is a raised ridge on the upper surface before the upper surface of the bow comes to a point before recessing for the bit. The bit is broadly cruciform in shape, perpendicular to the bow, with the short arm nearest to the bow being wider than the opposing arm from which extends a small T-shaped projection. The reverse of the key is flat and undecorated. Even dark 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: | 900
