Description: | Copper alloy key, possibly a casket key. The key is flat and fairly crude; it is undecorated and has a pronounced bend or curve about halfway down the stem probably due to it?s fragility. The bow of the key is sub-rectangualr with a small circular perforation in the centre measuring approximately 3.5mm in diameter. The stem is flat and solid with a small sub-square bit at the end. The tip of the stem projects about 10mm beyond the bit and terminates in a point. The key probably dates to the 15th century. It weighs 2.5g and measures 37mm in length, 10.04mm in width (across the bow) and 1.9mm in thickness. | 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: | 1400
