Description
Object of unknown purpose, though may be some form of push key for a barrel padlock or similar device. It consists of a flat strip of metal, one one end which is lobed and has a central trapezoidal piercing. The other similarly widens before then narrowing sharply to a thin strip which leads to a rectilinear section with a central piecing preceding two parallel projecting spurs. One side of the object is undecorated, but the other is incised with parallel sets of double lines which cross its width both horizontally and diagonally.
