Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy harness double-ended harness link. The loops are plain ovals; one is now more circular and also broken, presumably as a result of wear and tear. The bar is semi-circular in cross-section, with an expanded boss adjacent to the broken terminal; the lower surface is very slightly recessed at this point but otherwise flat. The object is a dull red-brown colour, with large patches of lighter corrosion product. The intact loop has been bent upwards. The metal and form suggest a date in the late early-medieval period, although, the object being undecorated, a later date cannot be ruled out.
