Medieval barrel lock key
Description
English: A Medieval copper-alloy slide key for a barrel padlock. The key has a round bow that has an external diameter of 9.55mm, a collar, and an offset spike or spur at 2 o'clock measuring 8.38mm in width. The shank is solid and the first 7.94mm nearest the bow is octagonal in section, the remainder consisting of a solid curved copper alloy strip that measures 5.50mm in length and 28.90mm in width, and demonstrates extensive tool marks. The bit is set to one side of the shank with rectangular wards at each terminal creating an H-shaped section. The key measures 64.21mm in width, 9.58mm in length and weighs 5.43g. Examples of similar keys dating to the twelfth to fifteenth centuries AD are noted in Egan, 1998: 100, especially No. 258.
