Description: | A fragment of a Roman key, consisting of the trilobate (fleur de lys) end of the handle. The shaft has broken off at the handle but was circular in section. There is a rectangular collar where the shaft met the handle. The handle components are squar or rectangular in section and form and elaborate fleur de lys design with additional decorative flouishes. The handle probably came from a rotary key, and dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD. | 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: | 100
