MEDIEVAL EUROPEAN DOOR KEY

Description

Style which evolved directly from the Roman, suggesting a Byzantine origin, about 500-800 AD. Forged iron, 3 3/4" length with a round shaft with toothed terminal folded over forming a narrow slot which would engage a corresponding toothed and slotted bolt end. Rare and can honestly be described as a "castle key" as the length indicates an extremely thick door as would provide fortification protection.
