Title
14th-century iron key
Description
English: A large medieval cast iron key. The key is heavily treated making it difficult to discern all of its features clearly. The key has a solid stem of circular section. The bow is oval in shape. The opposite end has a projecting tip of over 27mm. There are three wards, of which that closest to the bow has a rectangular cleft; the other wards might have clefts (especially that closest to the tip, which would offer symmetry to the bit) but these are obscured by the treatment. In form the door key is a Ward-Perkins (1940; 1993, 135) Type VIIA, a common form which dates from the fourteenth or fifteenth centuries.
