Fragment of Medieval barrel padlock |
||
| Description |
English: Copper alloy fragment of a Medieval 'barrel' padlock. The barrel of the lock is comprised of a hollow T-shaped section. The body is open and broken at one end and divided into three square divisions at the other. The lower upright of the T-shape reduces slightly in length tapering towards the open end of the body, but closes and stops short of the full length. A perpendicular, medial aligned, rectangular-shaped tab extends from the upper surface of the open end of the barrel. At the end of this, set at a right angle is the broken stub of a cylindrical arm, the intact terminal end of which projects slightly beyond the end of the tab. Circa AD1200-1500. There is a similar example on this database, see WAW-4F1EF1.
This padlock would have had a barb-spring mechanism opened by a barrel padlock key. This padlock was probably used on a chest or casket (Egan 1998, 92). Parallels from London (e.g. Egan 1998, 93; ref. 244) have come from pre-fourteenth-century contexts, although elsewhere they have been found in later contexts, for example Biddle (1990) illustrates a similar example, No. 3666 which was found in a context dated up to the 15th century. |
