1985.R.776, Lock, iron, Europe, 16th century

Submitted by administrator on
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The medieval and Renaissance period produced locks of beautiful case design, but the artists paid less attention to convenience and security than we do today. This imposing lockplate probably adorned a large wood chest. The splayed shape is most often found in Germany.
