Description: | Early Medieval copper alloy harness fitting probably of 11th century dateThe harness mount is fragmentary represented by one broken loop only (with a surviving length of 20.6mm and a weight of 3.9g). The loop would have been of sub-lozenge form with knops on the three corners (giving a maximum width of 28.9mm). The face is convex (giving a maximum thickness of 5.2mm) and an incised border is discernible near the edge. The opening for the strap is rectangular (12.9mm wide) and the underside is hollowed. The fitting has lost the original surface and is now dark brown.The fragmentary nature of the fitting makes typological identification difficult, although the surviving detail may be compared to (Williams 2007) cheek-pieces, bit-links and harness links.
