Description: | A copper alloy Early Medieval - Medieval harness fitting (11th century). It is a link or strap-adjuster from a horse harness, probably the bridle. The link has a D-shaped section (the reverse is flat, the front domed). The end of the link expands to form a large loop with circular perforation. The loop has three rounded lugs equally spaced around the external edge. It is broken 9.84mm along the length of the bar. The break has the same rough dark brown surface as the link, suggesting that it was broken in antiquity. The object has a rough dark brown surface. Dimensions: length: 24.29mm; width: 19.77mm; thickness: 4.89mm; weight: 5.02g. | 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
