Description: | A double-ended late early-medieval harness link, incomplete having broken through at the loop at one end (c. 11th century AD). It is formed of a bar of D-shaped cross-section with a convex central boss. At each end is a circular loop with characteristic three knobs; as noted one has broken through and the central knob has been lost here. The central boss also has lateral knobs. It is decorated with an engraved ring and annulet design, as with an example illustrated by Williams (2007, 4-5; fig. 6c). The object has a dark-grey patina surviving extensively over a red-brown metal.
