Description: | a copper alloy early medieval Anglo-Scandinavian loop from a harness link or possibly a bit link, of 11th century date. It is an oval loop with a plano-convex cross-section 17.9mm in length and 21mm wide, with a short length of arm, 8.35mm in length projecting from the centre. It is incomplete and is probably one end of a double-ended link with central boss, broken off just before the boss. It weighs 6.75g. Harness links usually have knobbed loops, but this example is plain. It may be part of a bit link, which were undecorated and attached to the end of an iron bit adjacent to the cheek piece.(David Williams pers.comm) | 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
