Description: | A cast copper alloy, Anglo-Scandinavian harness fitting dating to the 11th century AD. It is complete, consisting of two circular rings, joined together by a central bar. There is a boss or knop in the centre of the bar.
The ring and central bar are D-shaped in section.
The object is slightly worn, and has lost most of the original surface; it has a reddish-brown patina.
The object is probably a cheek piece from a horse's bridle. | 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
