Overall, the key measures 39.1mm long, 17.5mm wide and 7.1mm thick. It weighs 8.09g.The stem has a cross-section which is square with rounded corners. There is an off-centre circular perforation along its length. The bow was originally lozenge shaped. Now only one side of the bow survives. The bow and the stem are separated by an expanded rectangular collar. All the breaks appear to be old.
