Key guns, 1600s
‘Jailers’ keys were apparently filled with gun powder to create a primitive gun that could be detonated if there was any trouble when opening a cell door. We found several original versions that back up this claim, dating from the 17th century and of various complexity.’
omg……
Key of life
The key to the door of the temple at Abu Simbel, Egypt. It’s in the shape of the Ancient Egyptian ankh, the symbol of life.
Aww, thank you! I guess my obsession with skeleton keys and decorative boxes is well-known. :)
Reminds me of Gothic Miss Manners :)
That gold key is a serious work of complete beauty.
Holy fuck. I don’t think there are even words for how in love I am with the silver key.
I need to know where I can buy this like right now.
Seconded.
