Description: | Fragment of a Roman copper alloy key handle. Part of a deep flat-sectioned loop projects from a collar that tapers slightly to the damaged mouth of the trapezoidal socket (outer diam. 10.5mm). Twin transverse ribs flank the springing of the socket, and there are the remains of longitudinal twin ribs on the face of the better surviving fragment of the loop. The socket expands from the mouth (5 x 4mm) to a rectangular slot on the inside of the loop (4 x 7mm), and contains iron staining, also present on the body. Surviving length 31mm. Height of loop 18mm. Width across loop 15mm. 11mm thick. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
