Description: | A complete copper alloy key. A slide key. The bow is circular with two knops on the outer edge. Below the bow at the start of the stem are two small angled knops, one at either side. The stem is hexagonally facted. At the end nearest the bit is a transverse collar and a round-ended moulding, (possibly a devolved zoomorphic decoration. The bit is flattened and stepped out from the stem and extends into a box-shaped frame. At the mid-point of the long edge adjacent to the stem, the frame has a v-shaped notch and there is a similar, smaller notch in the opposite inner edge. The outer edge of the frame has a projection at the mid-point which is initially stepped and then narrows into a square sectioned bar wit a transverse pelta-shaped terminal.Date: Late Early Medieval (probably) c. 900 - 1066Dimensions: 56.16 mm x 18.31 mm x 3.91 mmWeight: 6.89 gSimilar examples are recorded on the PAS database: LIN-67C243, LANCUM-1E77A5, WILT-CFEF31, SOM-BC3065, IOW-558551, NMS-167491
