Metal key with a handle in the shape of a recumbent lion, a ring in its mouth, and a curved blade with several elongated teeth. This example is inspired by models from ancient Rome, such as the one kept at the Getty Museum (inventory 96.AC.197), which has a horse's head on the handle, or the one from Castromao de Celanova (Provincial Archaeological Museum of Ourense), whose blade is similar to this one.
