Description: | A cast copper alloy bridle fitting cheek piece which is most likely to be late Anglo-Saxon or perhaps Medieval in date. This fitting is 78mm in lenght and consists of two D-shaped terminal loops on the ends of a rectangular shaped bar with an animal in its centre. This animal is in side profile and is a quadruped, it looks like a sheep as it appears to have wool. One of the terminal loops is broken away from the rest of the fitting, due to what appears to be an old break. No parallel could be found for this bridle fitting. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
