Description: | Bridge warded bit., Early 17th century key.
Bow is kidney shaped with a flattened design to the top. It attaches to the shank with a simple ferrule. The shank itself protrudes slightly into the bow. The shank is polygonal, probably hexagonal although corrosion makes this unclear. It broadens to the collar which is of the banbury style, falling to beyond the nose. A large section of the shank is severely corroded. The pin is tapered to a rounded end. The bit and nose are symmetrical and pierced with geometric designs. The whole is corroded.,
