Description: | A copper-alloy harness fitting; a harness link dating from the 11th century. Each end of the link is lozengiform with three rounded projecting knops. There is an oval hole through each terminal which does not seem to be particularly worn. The bar separating the ends is rectangular in shape and D-shaped in cross-section. It has a central boss which is also lozenge-shaped, with a collar at each end separating it from the bar, and a rounded knop projecting from each side. The piece has a dark brown and red patina. It has a length of 89.41mm, width 20.15mm, thickness 6.70mm, weight 27.92g.Objects of similar style are discussed in the Finds Research Group Datasheet 39 by David Williams (2007), for example, figure 6a.
