Description: | A cast copper alloy barb-spring padlock case for a box or barrel lock, dating 12th - 16th century. The case comprises an incomplete square-section bolt, length 30.98 mm, and an incomplete protruding rectangular hasp. 11.72 mm at the keyhole end, splitting into three square openings at the bolt end of the padlock.
Such padlocks are split into two categories, box and barrel. The box padlock has a lever lock, and the barrel padlock has springs. One has an entirely copper alloy case and is smaller and often decorated with curved lines. The other was generally larger and with an iron case coated with copper alloy. | 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: | 12
