PADLOCK

Unique ID: NCL-7F3B93

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Medieval copper alloy barrel lock, probably for a casket. The lock has a heptagonal sectioned barrel with the remains of two arms on the upper surface, one at each end. At one end of the barrel is the key aperture and at the other, a lead plug. Originally the spring mechanism of the lock would have been here, so the plug is probably a later repair or alteration.
