Description: | MS/LS Ae enamelled stud from harness, circular, dia.39mm, convex, geometric design with field of reddish orange enamel, central concave-sided triangle, each of the three encircling panels within border with double-rectangle flanked on both sides by a triangle, outer edge with small transverse grooves, short rectangular-sectioned fragment of central stud on reverse. This stud, which is of Irish manufacture, has known parallels, of which ?a significant number have been recovered from Viking graves associated with horse bridles so they certainly circulated in the Scandinavian world as harness fittings?. This find has an exact parallel from Aggersborg (dia.39mm) in the Danish National Collection in Copenhagen. Late 8th/9th century. Report by S. Youngs (BM) to follow. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 650
