Description: | A cast circular iron fragment from a medieval padlock. This discoidal element has dished obverse and reverse faces. On the obverse it features two rectangular depressions and a rectangular perforation; the depressions are on the same plane while the hole is perpendicular to them. On the reverse face the depressions turn into protrusions. The hole and the depressions presumably represent the way that these items were moved to allow opening and locking of the lock. The object is very worn and corroded. A complete example with similar perforations can be found illustrated in Egan (1998, 97; ref. 251). | 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
