Cast copper alloy Roman key handle/bow. Only the bow remains, having broken where it would meet the shaft. This is a deviant on the usual fleur-de-lis style handles. It has two curved lobes at the base with circular perforations. The upper section consists of a scroll motif with the ends curling back towards the centre. At the base, there is a rectangular section with two raised transverse ribs. This narrows to where it would have met the shaft. There is some iron corrosion, suggesting the shaft was made from iron.

A copper alloy key dating from the Medieval period. The bow is lozenge shaped with rounded knops on the corners. It has a semi-spherical base, which then leads into a two-pronged section. The lower prong appears complete and has a octagonal cross-section. The upper prong has broken close to the handle. From more complete examples it is likely that this prong would have continued on to the bit. For reference see number 29 in plate XXX (p140) of the London Museum Medieval Catalogue (1940). Keys of this style fall into Ward Perkins' type V and probably date from the 13th or 14th ce…

Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy Roman nail cleaner with transverse grooves no neck, dating to the 1st-2nd century AD. It is incomplete, having broken before the end. The loop is cast integrally to the nail cleaner and is set perpendicular to the blade. There is moulded decoration below the loop, before it meets the blade. This consists of 6 or 7 transverse grooves. The blade itself would have been leaf-shaped in plan but it has broken, probably at the widest point. On one face it is decorated with punched ring and dot motifs which appear to run the whole length in a single line.

Copper alloy cast Roman terret, probably a pole-mounted and knobbed type dating to the 1st- 2nd century AD. The loop is circular with three knobs, one at the top and one on each side. The two side knobs have been worn down. The loop itself is also worn through at one point, most likely from use. The loop has a rounded section below, which was decorated with two transverse grooves (now almost worn away) which then narrows to a rectangular sectioned, thinner terminal. This presumably would have been where it attached to the cart or chariot.

Cast copper alloy Medieval rotary key handle/bow. Incomplete, bow only. Lozenge shaped bow with four circular holes (diameter c.5mm), one in each corner. The bow terminates in a hollow circular tubular loop (external diameter 14.5mm) set at 90 degrees to the bow. The bow is broken where it would have met the shaft, leaving a broken edge. The knop on the bow presumably had a function. It is possible that it formed another key - it could engage with two prongs. Alternatively it could simply be for suspension. Two keys with tubular loops on the bow are published in Ward Perkins …
