Context (Found together / assemblage)
Eleven apparently unaccessioned keys, plus one other metal object of unknown purpose, (TEMP.00736-TEMP.00747) 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. Four of these keys (TEMP.00736-TEMP.00739) have been identified as belonging to the Braybrooke Collection (see individual Context notes). All twelve objects were found with a note reading 'NO PROV'.

Description (Physical description)
Key with cusped ovate bow, cylindrical shank, and single bit cut with key wards to form an 'S'- shape. The entire object is quite heavily corroded, to the extent that is unclear whether this key has a pin or pipe (now infilled) shank. A small length of string is affixed to the bow.
