Description: | Medieval copper alloy harness fitting, possibly a harness link, 57mm long, 41mm wide and 5mm thick. The object is in poor condition, being very worn and has a dark green patina and weighs 19grams. The object is incomplete but is essentially an inverted T shape. It has a central trefoil terminal which sits at the end of the vertically aligned shaft which is triangular in form with rounded sides. This sits above a shaft running horizontally, which has a semi-circular protrusion on its underside, directly opposite the vertical shaft and a smaller rounded protrusion on each side of this. The shaft has a complete sub rectangular arm with slighly protruding corners to the left and an incomplete version to the right. There are three faint raised circular areas in the centre of the object which may be rivets and there are also faint traces of possible decoration, ridges on the edges and a possible raised area above the 'rivets'.
