Ring key is held by National Museum of Romanian History. Museum description: Ring key with the bit attached directly to the bow/ring. The hoop is circular, slightly beveled, separated from the bit by a very short stem. The bit of the key is rectangular and provided with three teeth. Very close analogies are found at Porolissum (Gudea 1989, 682-683, pl. CCXXVI). The museum record gives measurements length: 32 mm; width: 24 mm. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
