Description: | A cast lead-alloy possible livery badge of Post-Medieval date, c. 1500-1800.The badge is of a key, with a clff of 4 bits off the ride side of the bottom of the shank. The tip of the shank was hollow, but the material has been flattened here. The top of the shank has two collars before the loop, formed by a simple crossbar and three plumes/feathers emerging out of the centre.The reverse is decorated in the same fashion, except there is a raised circular collar/socket in the base of the centre plume/feather that probably took an attachment, perhaps for fitting a pin.
