Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy derivative three-link type bridle bit, probably dating to the Iron Age between 500 BC ?? AD 43 (length: 73mm; width at loop: 13.3mm; thickness at centre: 11.3mm; weight: unknown). The artefact consists of a slightly curved square-sectioned bar with a protruding collar in the centre, which has two incised lines to either side. At both ends, the looped terminals are broken, although one is more complete than the other. The fitting is worn but in fair condition with small areas of bronze disease at the collar. The artefact has been coated in a material. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
