Description: | A fragment of cast copper alloy harness of Anglo-Scandinavian date (900-1100 AD). The fragment consists of one terminal of a harness link; the breaks are unpatinated and unabraded suggesting relatively recent damage in the plough zone. In shape the fragment is an irregular lozenge; with knop like terminals on the upper and lower edges. The link to the bar of the harness is lost. The internal diameter of the hole is 14.2mm and the edges are worn with use. The artefact is a mid green brown colour with a heavily polished patina. A direct parallel has not been found due to the fragmentary nature of the piece. It measures 25.5mm length, 35.6mm width is 5.1mm thick and weighs 8.58 grams.
