Medieval zoomorphic barrel padlock |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete medieval copper-alloy zoomorphic barrel padlock. The hollow cast body is in the form of a horse with stubs of four legs, the cylindrical body, neck and part of the head remaining. At the back of the horse is a figure-of-8 aperture, probably origionally two oval apertures, and the front has a large asymmetrical opening to one side, all for the missing bolt. There are holes down one side and underneath, probably damage. The top half of the head is lost but the remainder suggests there may have been holes in the muzzle and back of the head, as seen on NMS-3C0C9. Any cast or engraved decoration is now illegible due to wear. Various horse-shaped barrel padlocks are known; an incomplete example was excavated from a 12th-early 13th century context in Winchester (Biddle, 1990) no.3665 and several others are published on the database, e.g.LEIC-52EAE6 and DEBO-45B8B6, both of which are more complete than this example. It is 35.8mm long, 23.5mm tall, 11.8mm thick and weighs 9.17g. |
