Object type: KEY (LOCKING)
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small rotary key, cast in copper alloy. The bow is circular and fairly small; it is somewhat mis-cast and lumpy. There are two collars; a larger one adjacent to the bow and a smaller one, which becomes the rest of the stubby solid stem. The bit is simple, with two badly-cast clefts, one on each side. There is a short projecting tip. The casting is poor, with surviving flash. The key appears to have been used, though, as the bit has horizontal scratches on both sides. The surface is a dull green colour, with little wear. The key is probably medieval in date.

An unidentified object made of copper alloy and iron. The artefact consists of a flat oval copper alloy plate (38mm x 23.7mm x 1.3mm, 5.95g) with a sub-circular 4mm perforation at each end. These holes apparently received iron rivets or pins, the corroded ends of which remain in the other object; this second piece is formed of a flat copper alloy strip, with small rectangular block ‘feet’ at each end, in the bases of which are the stubs of the rivets (32.5mm x 12.32 x 7.4mm, 9.46g). The upper surface of both the plate and fitting are decorated with stamped and punched designs, whic…
