Copper-alloy fragment from a key of Roman date (c. 150 - 410 AD). The fragment is from the handle of the key, consisting of a hollow, rectangular-sectioned stem that widens slightly to a rectangular collar demarcating the bow. Both stem and collar are emphasised by parallel grooves that run transversely around the object. The bow is a simplified rendering of the openwork, trilobate 'fleur-de-lys' shape commonly found on keys of Roman date. The 'fleur-de-lys' are represented by three circles, the central of which has a triangular notch beneath it, all within a flat, sub-triangular fram…

A Medieval silver double patard of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy (1419-67) and Brabant (1466-67), minted for Flanders. In 1469, following an agreement made between Edward IV and Charles the Bold, these coins were made legal tender in England and remained so for over 60 years afterwards; they crop up in hoards (in steadily declining numbers) until well into Henry VIII's reign. The Burgundian rulers were seen as friends of the English and this is the main reason that this type of foreign coin was allowed to circulate here. The metal is not quite sterling value, so although they w…

Copper-alloy fragment from a key of Roman date (c. 150 - 410 AD). The fragment is from the handle of the key, consisting of a circular-sectioned stem that widens into a knop before narrowing to a rectangular collar demarcating the bow. The collar is emphasised by two grooves running in parallel around it. Much of the bow is now missing, but what survives consists of two spurs that curve outwards either side of two rectangular-sectioned bars that extend vertically from the collar and connect to the curving spurs on the outer edge. When complete, the handle would have been of the openwo…
