Description: | A fragment of a probable cast copper alloy harness cheek-piece of late Saxon date. The fragment is roughly cast and shows no additional engraved decoration. There are two broken edges which suggest they formed part of a circular aperture for the insertion of the iron bit. The profile is similar to the animal profiles which occur on these ojects, but if so the animal is more debased than is usually found. There is a shallow rebate on one part; again cheek-pieces are not known to have such rebates.
