Symbolic keys have been found in women´s graves, and only in women´s graves. We know that these symbolic keys were highly elaborate, that they were usually made of bronze, that they were worn exclusively by the mistress of the house over her clothes for all to see and that they bore little traces of wear. What might such a key have opened? What story could you tell us about swapped, lost or stolen keys? Or of the artisan who designed them? Remember to link it to the sea!
