Description: | Incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy keyhole fitting. The keyhole plate has been cut into a quatrefoil shape from a sheet of copper alloy, there is a cut-out for the keyhole in the centre of this. There are semi-circular protusions at the centre of each of the quatrefoil edges with small circular rivet holes for attachment. The one on the left hand side is no longer present; the break is worn.The plate is decorated with incised lines. There are two parallel lines which follow the quatrefoil shape with a series of poorly executed incised circles within them. A line roughly outlines the keyhole, and there are two flowers made up of seven circles to either side of the keyhole cut-out. The reverse is undecorated.The keyhole fitting measures 65.63mm by 55.58mm and has a thickness of 1.35mm. It weighs 13.04g.This keyhole fitting appears to have similar decoration to NLM554. See also LON-131D46.
