Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon bit link. Which would have been attached to the ends of the iron bits adjacent to the cheek piece, and to which were secured the reins. One end has the characteristic lozenge-shaped knobbed loop, there is then a rectangular and D-sectioned arm with a rounded boss. The second loop is fragmentary but appears most likely to have been oval in shape. It measures 48.49mm in surviving length and the complete terminal loop is 22.64mm in width and the arm 10mm in width.
