Part of a medieval key, probably of London type VI. The bow is incomplete but meets the stem at a right angle, so was probably originally lozenge-shaped. There is a double collar at the junction of stem and bow, now very worn, especially on one face. the stem is oval in cross-section and is hollow for about half its length; it has worn through to the hollow interior on the more worn face. Part of a bit survives, projecting from the hollow tip. London type VI keys appear to date from the late 13th to 15th century, but Goodall dates lozenge bows found on iron keys at Winchester to no…
