Medieval padlock (profile). |
||
| Description |
English: Medieval (c. AD 1200 - c. AD 1400) barb-spring barrel padlock: The copper alloy barrel case is octagonal in cross-section throughout its length. The surface is decorated with double-strands of small triangular cells forming wavy lines along the length of the case, on the upper face. At each terminal there is two parallel transverse grooves as decoration as well. The lower face has file marks across it. One terminal is slightly abraded, and off-set within the casing there is a 'H' shaped bar forming two perforations. The opposite terminal of the case is incomplete, and the damage is recent. This terminal, on the exterior lower face has a projecting sub-rectangular perforated arm (tab) which is incomplete. The surface has a well developed mid green/grey patina and some abrasion. It measures 47.62mm long, 16.93mm wide across the case and tab, 11.04mm thick across the case and weighs 9.7g.
This padlock was probably used on a 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 fourteenth contexts (Geake 2001, 50-51).
