Description: | Copper alloy cast key, medieval in date (c AD1150-1450). The shank of the key is thick with a collar with linear decoration. There is an open groove where a separate bow would have attached to the key which is now missing. The end of the shank is hollow and would probably have contained a pin and second bit. The bit is formed in two sections with a series of clefts and grooves. The object has a patchy light green patina.See Egan (1998) page 115, fig 88.
