Description: | A corroded but complete double-ended late early-medieval harness link (c. 11th century AD). It is formed of a bar of D-shaped cross-section with a slightly squared central boss. At each end is a circular loop with characteristic three knobs. The central boss also has lateral knobs. It is seemingly plain, though corroded. It has a small depression on its lower surface, though this may be a product of casting. For similar examples see Williams (2007, 4-5; fig. 6). The object is a red-brown colour with some small patches of green corrosion product.
