Chest lock with decorated lock plate

anonymous, c. 1400 - c. 1500

Behind this large lock plate is a comparatively simple lock, which originally secured a large chest. The flaring form with three finials allowed the plate to be firmly fixed to the chest. The Gothic foliate motifs on the plate and its finials provide the decoration.
