Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy late early-medieval bit link. It terminates in an oval loop with three knobbed protrusions. The plain oval loop at the other end has been broken through, presumably as a result of wear and tear. The bar is semi-circular in cross-section, with an expanded boss (Th.: 7.15mm) adjacent to the broken terminal; the lower surface is generally flat. There is some internal bevelling below the loops. The object is a dull red-brown colour, with patches of green corrosion product. A bit link which has worn through in exactly the same way can be found illustrated in Williams (2007, 4; fig. 5). | Subjects: | bit link | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
