Description: | Unfinished post-medieval copper alloy casket key with twin internal projections in the kidney-shaped bow, a small knop on the outside of it, baluster mouldings at the top of the solid shank, and a simple bit with a thickened lower edge. The mouldings and the knop are an unusual feature but otherwise the form is broadly similar to that of Read 2001, 73, nos. 564-6. A large, flat, square projection on the side of the bow is a flaw that should have been removed after the casting process. Length 33mm. Width of bow 14mm. 16th - 17th cent.
