About this work
Drilled key with a clover-shaped shaft. The round eye consists of two snakes twisting away from each other, holding a ball in their mouths with their turned-in heads. They clasp at the bottom a Tonic elevation of the round capital decorated with a pearl string. Below is a disc-shaped key bow. The eye and capital are of bronze, the key bow, shaft and bit of iron.
