Description
Iron chest lock. The plate seen on the outside of the cabinet has a square shape with pointed ends, like a star. It has three holes: one to insert the key, a rectangular hole where the lock is locked and a small square hole. In the inner area, the mechanism formed by springs has been preserved. It preserves four nails (square cross-section) that were inserted into the piece of furniture and that show that the wood must have been about 4 cm thick.
