<p>Dear Steve,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for this notification. I checked out the link and they are very nice objects. However, my eye was caught by the previous month's image from Marloes and I wonder if this is the picture of the right object. The caption and text read as below;</p>

This strange bone object has been found in the Netherlands. The artefact itself is lost and only the picture above remains at present. It is probably from the site Statenplein in Dordrecht and is dated to the 14th century. It has been interpreted as some kind
of key.</p>

<p>When you zoom into the image the object is clearly a bronze barrel padlock. I guess it is from an anoxic waterlogged site so does not have the more familiar green corrosion but there are traces of a dark corrosion, probably a sulphide, near the lower right
perforation. The surface of the metal shows a mixture of working marks but has also become etched in the burial environment which has given it an overall matte textured appearance.</p>
<p><br>

<p>All the best,</p>
