Key with rhombus-shaped bow, cylindrical pin shank narrowing to small protruding toe, and unusual single bit with large 'L'-shaped key wards cut in both front and rear edges. Large parts of the surface are covered in patches of corroded material, but there appear to be at least three groups of incised lines decorating the upper portion of the shank.
