Description: | Possibly an early medieval horse harness fitting. Cast copper alloy mount; The surviving section is sub-triangular, with the two shorter edges being scalloped. The longer edge extends into a narrower rectangular projection with a worn break at its end. The main body has two symmetrical openwork sub-ovals. There is no evidence of decoration on either surfaces, however both are extremely corroded. There is possibly a break from an integrally cast lug at the centre of the mount. It is 28.64mm long, 38.34mm wide, 1.69mm thick and weighs 4.72 grams.
