Description: | A copper alloy unidentified object. It has a large circular loop at the top of a shaft which descends to a transverse bar running across the bottom with a perforation at the centre. The shape resembles an upside-down T. The perforation is worn at the end near the bottom of the transverse bar with more wear on the outside of the bar. There was obviously something suspended from this hole. The top of the loop appears to have a small knop on it. This is perhaps an abraded break. This object seems to have suspended something from it or linked to another object, perhaps as some sort of bridle component. It was also thought originally that it could be part of a purse bar. A fifteenth or sixteenth century date is likely. See page 17 of the Searcher, April 1993.
