Description: | Early medieval incomplete cast copper alloy harness link. The link comprises a lozengiform terminal with a central circular hole and three knops, one projecting from each corner. From the foruth corner projects a bar terminating in what maybe another lonzengiform terminal or a open central boss, now broken. The bar and terminal are D shaped in section with a flat back. The fragment measures 41.30 x 25.20mm and 4.91mm thick; weight 11.3gms.
Williams (2007:4-5) illustrates a range of similar links which he suggests may have been used at many places on horse harness where two straps met; he dates them to the 11th century AD. | Subjects: | Harness link | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
