Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy key of medieval date. Only the shank and bit of the key remain; part of the shank and the bow are missing. The bit is elaborate and apparently complete. The shank is oval shaped and hollow at the bit end. The shank has a double collared rib before the break. The key is likely to date from between around 1200 and 1400 AD. It has a dark green/grey patina.
