Description: | A small rotary key, cast in copper alloy. The bow is circular and fairly small; it is somewhat mis-cast and crude. There is no collar next to the bow. The stem appears to be solid, part way, but the terminal of the stem is hollow. The stem is circular in section but it has been flattened. The stem also tapers from the bow outwards to the bit. The bit is simple, consisting of two wards - one is adjacent to the underside of the bit, the other has been separated from the first by a claft. There is no projecting tip. The surface is a mid greyish-green colour, with little wear. The key is probably medieval in date. | 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
