Description: | A complete Roman L-shaped slide key. The bow and handle are copper-alloy and the stem proper and bit are iron. The bow is semi-circular and is off-set to the main body of the handle which is sub rectangular and has a stepped integrally cast band or collar at each end. The handle tapers slightly from end to end being larger at the bow end. The iron stem and bit is L-shaped but further observations could not be made due to corrosion and lack of cleaning.
