Description: | Fragment of Late Early-Medieval/ Early Medieval copper alloy bridle fitting, possibly a bit link, consisting of one arm broken just before the central boss. It measures 42x(max)17.7x7.5mm and weighs 13.21g. It is unlikely to be a cheekpiece as it is too long.
The arm is D-shaped in section, being flat on the underside. There is a double moulding just before the break, which is across a piercing c.4.4mm in diameter. The moulding is bowtie-shaped with one side slightly larger than the other and having a V-shaped cut in its wider edge, just before the piercing.
The terminal is rectangular in shape, 13.4x17.6mm (internal 10.5x6.1mm).
David Williams suggests a date 1050-1200. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
