Context (Analysis)
Cf. London Museum Medieval Catalogue, especially Plate XXIX no. 12 - a Type VI key from Cheapside, London. Keys of this type are dated to the 14th and 15th centuries, though this particular key is too broken to allow for a definite identification as such. Therefore, the Period field has been changed from 'Roman' to 'Medieval'.
