Iron lock with the locking mechanism at the center of a four pointed design. The center of the lock is dark brown and divided into two sections. The section to our right is square with a keyhole closest to the center of the lock, and one small circular hole next to the keyhole. The half to our left is the outline of a tall rectangle with carved dashes along its sides. From each of the center's four corners there is a gold screw in a metal piece that extends outward. At the end of each piece the metal is square with a design of fleurs-de-lis.
