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 oval bow and sub-cylindrical pin shaft widening slightly towards the bit. The bit takes the form of a rhombohedron with a flattened bottom edge and a circular hole pierced longitudinally through its centre. The terminus of the shank above the bit also seems to have a groove cut into it, however this is unclear due to the high level of corrosion which affects the whole object.
