Description: | Post Medieval to modern cast copper alloy mount or lock keyhole escutcheon cover or possibly drawer drop handle. Extending from the top of the mount is an attachment loop, which is now broken and largely missing, below which is a collar of two, slightly downward bowing, horizontal lines. The main body extends below in the form of an extended bulbous 'teardrop' with a terminal knop at the bottom. The outer face is convex and domed at the teardrop. The reverse is concave. The artefact has been affected by corrosion. Probably dates to between c1700 and c1939 AD.The length is 45mm, the width is 17mm, and the weight 5.70g.Roughly similar objects on the database include DENO-F45024, LANCUM-FC5DC5, ESS-054266 (possibly Roman), PUBLIC-06BE60, and YORYM-C9E962.
