Buyer's premium:

A small, heavily corroded key, identified through web intelligence as a Medieval casket key. This item features a simple, rounded bow at one end and a basic, L-shaped bit at the other. Its entire surface exhibits significant pitting and a dark, uneven patina, consistent with an aged or excavated ferrous metal, likely iron or a copper alloy. No visible text, markings, or decorative elements are discernible. The overall condition indicates extensive surface degradation due to environmental exposure, consistent with a soil find.
