Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentifiable object. The object could be part of a three linked bridle bit, dating to the Late Iron Age. The object has been formed from one solid piece of copper alloy. The object consists of two sections. One section is an oval sectioned strip of copper alloy, the surviving terminal is slightly pointed, and the other terminal is broken. The other part of the object also has an oval shaped section, but instead of being straight it is bent over the terminal of the other section forming an open loop. The two sections have been cast as one and are only divided by a groove running down the middle of the two. The opposite terminal to the open loop is broken. The break is very worn. The metal is a dark brownish-green and is very smooth; much of the original surface still survives, although some pitting has occurred on the surface. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
