The quatrefoil shaped bow is pierced with three circular holes of equal size and one larger, oval shaped hole at the end. The outer rim of the larger hole has broken away in antiquity and is missing. There is a very worn collar between the bow and the stem. The key has a light green patina. It is 53.7mm long, 22.25mm wide and 8.3mm thick. It weighs 12.14gm.
