Description: | Two cast copper alloy lozenge-shaped loops, each has an incomplete projecting arm.
The larger of the loops has a rounded knop on the external corner, and flatened corners on the outer edges. The openwork hole is lozeng-shaped with squared off corners. The upper surface has an incised line runing around the centre of the frame. The projecting arm is rectangular. It measures 44mm by 33mm. The smaller loop is plain with no terminal knop. The openwork hole is lozenge shaped. The smaller loop measures 39.5mm by 37mm.
These two fittings were recorded as 11th century bridal fittings. Harness equipment of an 11th century date are often lozenge-shaped either end of an adjoining arm. However, the internal loop is usually circular, rather than lozenge-form. The fittings have been left as an 11th century date, however may be later. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hobbs, Richard - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
