Title
?Post-medieval rotary key, reverse
Description
English: A very worn and corroded cast iron key. The key has a seemingly solid stem of circular section, corrosion making it impossible to establish with the naked eye whether it is hollow. The stem is 54.4mm in length between bit and bow. It tapers towards the bow which is now but a fragment but was probably of oval shape. The opposite end has an extant projecting tip of 10.2mm. The bit is composed of two wards perpendicular to the stem with a space between them of 17.3mm. Both wards feature three symmetrical projections into the space. The projection closest to the stem is 6mm away from it and is a simple solid element 7.6mm in length. The second and third projections are 11mm and 18.5mm from the stem respectively. Now variously worn and corroded they would have been 'S' shaped, the 'S' being formed by assymetrical clefts. The complexity of the bit suggests a probable post-medieval date for this key.
