Description: | A cast copper-alloy key for turning triangular pegs of Medieval date, c. 1200-1400.The key is incomplete, with an incomplete openwork trefoil bow and a short shank that has a thick collar at its terminal, containing a triangular-shaped socket. These keys are speculated as being of use for spigots rather than tuning-keys for musical instruments.
