Description: | Copper-alloy casket key of probable 12th to 14th C. AD date. The bow is roughly circular in shape and measures 13.3mm in external diameter. It has a small decorative knob on top. At the point where the bow joins to the stem there is a moulded collar with two horizontal indented lines. Two pairs of vertical indented lines extend from the collar into the lower part of the bow and appear to be a purely decorative feature. The stem is hollow and measures 16.2mm long by 3.3mm wide and 4mm high. The bit is rectangular and contains no cleft. It does, however, have a pair of indented horizontal lines on each of the two long sides. The overall dimensions of the object are 31.5mm long by 13.3mm high. The weight is 3.9g. | 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: | 1100
