Description: | Copper alloyLocket. Composite construction comprising two heart shaped plates and a separate rim which encloses all but the top. A bent hasp of drawn wire with its end doubled over on itself protruded eccentrically from the open top, presumably to engage a leaf within the lock, but the wire was broken during examination by MF. There is a small keyhole of conventional form, 3.5mm high, in one side. The lock is surrounded by five screw heads of diameter 1.9mm. The impression is of a casual piece executed by a craftsman as a personal project, and the heart shape hints at a romantic motive. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900.Height: 16.5mm, Width: 16.1mm, Thickness: 2.9mm, Weight: 3.08gms.
