Context (Found together / assemblage)
Four apparently unaccessioned keys (TEMP.00724-TEMP.00727) were found together in the museum store. Some or all of them may have been accessioned and become disassociated with their museum number, or they may never have been formally accessioned into the museum's collection.

Description (Physical description)
Key with oval bow, cylindrical shank, collar, throating, pin and toe, with a single bit extending from the pin. The bit is of an unusual type, with two curved prongs in a form reminiscent of a pitchfork or bull's horns. The entire key has been quite heavily corroded, though seemingly re-polished at a later date.
