Thanks :) it actually only looks like that because it was still wet. It has the typical flaking, but otherwise top

Very nice! These key hooks date from the late 15th century and were probably made (mostly) in Nuremberg. Literature: Arne Homann / Jörg Ansorge, Fashionable mass product of the late Gothic period.

Thank you :) We were also in contact with both gentlemen because we couldn't really identify the find at first.
