Description: | Complete copper alloy harness link of Late Early-Medieval, eleventh century date (AD 1000 ? AD 1100). Length 57.5mm, maximum width 18mm and 7mm thick at the central boss. Weight 14.63g. The link consists of a central boss connected to an arm at each side which terminates with a circular loop. Each loop has an external diameter of about 18mm and an internal diameter of about 12mm. One of the loops is slightly down-turned. Viewing the strap link in plan, the central boss is sub-rectangular and is flat on the underside. Both arms are D-shaped in cross-section and flat on the underside. The underside of each loop is mainly flat. However, there is slight concavity where the arms join the loops. A patina has not survived and the reddish coloured metal is corroded. | 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: | 1000
