Title
Medieval key (locking): Barrel padlock key
Description
English:
A complete iron key for a barrel padlock, dating to the medieval period. The key has a sub-oval loop and a thick shank which is boradly rectangular / flat in cross section. The shank tapers from the loop to the bit, which is curved to a near right-angle from the shank. There are three upright rectangular bits projecting from the shank bit, all of which show signs of use. This example survives in unusually good condition. Similar examples are illustrated in Ward-Perkins (1940:149 figure 45). These are from contexts dating from c. AD 1200 onwards.
