Description: | A cast copper alloy, Anglo-Scandinavian harness fitting dating to the 11th century AD. It is complete, consisting of two circular rings, joined together by a central bar. There is a boss or knop in the centre of the bar. The ring and central bar are D-shaped in section. The object is slightly worn, and has lost most of the original surface; it has a reddish-brown patina. The object is probably a cheek piece from a horse's bridle.
