Title
A Post Medieval iron locking key.
Description
English: A Post Medieval iron locking rotary casket key (17th century). The key has an oval bow with a pair of internal projections at the junction between the stem and the bow. The stem has a circular cross-section and decorative moulding of ridges and grooves near the bow; there is a further decorative ridge near the bit. Corrosion obscures the detail of the bit and the end of the stem so it is uncertain if it is hollow or solid. The bit is rectangular and appears to have two rectangular sections cutaway, one from the right edge, the other beneath from the left edge. Dimensions: length: 62.2mm; width: 26.5mm; thickness: 2.2mm; weight: 15.92g.
