Description: | A small cast copper alloy rotary key which probably dates from the medieval or post-medieval period. The key, which is very worn, measures 29.64mm long, 20.20mm wide, 2.4mm thick and weighs 4.43g. It has a sub-rounded bow with a slightly pointed proximal end and an off-centre oval hole. The solid stem is very short and the bit is simple, with no wards or clefts, although it has possibly been broken, with the break too worn to discern. This key may have locked a casket. | 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: | 1066
