Description: | A broken lozenge-form terminal from a piece of 11th century horse furniture.
The terminal has been cast in copper alloy. It is likely that this terminal was the decorative terminal from an 11th century cheek piece, but it could equally be from another piece of horse furniture of the same date.
The object has a looped oval ?terminal? (with a D-shaped section). In the 3 o?clock position there is a break - this would once have been joined to a thick bar of copper alloy (with a D-shaped section), this would in turn have attached to the rest of the artefact. The reverse of the artefact is flat.
This is only a fragment of a larger artefact. The metal is a light greyish-green colour. The style of the artefact dates it to the 11th century. | 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
