Title
Casket key
Description
English: Small medieval copper alloy key with a partially hollow shank. One side of the bow is 'shouldered', that is to say it has a small projection at the point where the bow meets the shank. The bit is simple and it's clefts and channels are asymmetrical.

It is possible that this key was for a small chest or casket, as it has a hollow shank.

Length: 35.66mm, width: 12.26mm, thickness: 2.93mm, weight: 3.62g.
