Description: | A broken fragment from a medieval casket key. Only the tip of the shank and bit of the key survives. The bit emerges from the bottom of the shank. The shank is hollow at the end but solid elsewhere. Where the surface of the metal survives it is a deep green colour, though where it has corroded it has a pale cream patina. The key fragment measures 11.53 mm long, 9.19 mm wide (including the bit), 3.69 mm thick and weighs 0.9 grams.
