Description: | A worn medieval cast copper-alloy casket key. The key has a seemingly solid stem of oval section with a hollow end. The stem widens towards the bow; the latter is circular in shape. The bit tapers in section and protrudes at the base. There is a crude cleft towards the base of the bit on the front face. The literature (see sample references below) is somewhat contradictory so, given the worn condition of this object, a wide medieval date range is offered. | 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: | 1200
