Title
A post medieval copper alloy key dating to the 16th century
Description
English: A Post Medieval copper alloy key, dating to the 16th century. The key has a solid stem which tapers towards the end. The bow is oval, almost D-shaped, with two internally projecting spikes at the ends of the bow, attached to the stem. There appears to be decorative moulding at the joint composed of two discs separated by an ovoid section. The bit is rectangular in shape, with three rectangular clefts removed from the base, there are two further rectangular clefts along the outside edge and another half-way along the inside edge.

A parallel can be found in Read (2001, nos. 563-566) and dates to the 16th century.
