Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy gilded medieval harness fitting with a zoomorphic terminal. The harness fitting is broadly oval in plan and broadly oval in cross section. The top of the fitting is 3.15mm wide and thickens towards the main body of the fitting (10.1mm wide) which has been curved inwards on itself on either end void which is 2.3mm wide at the beginning of the void. There is a copper-alloy rivet at the point where the fitting is widest which is visible on the reverse. The fitting then tapers towards the zoomorphic terminal which has been bent upwards slightly. The terminal which has two deep semi-circular incisions above the terminal depict ears. Below the end is moulded to form an animal's head, with a narrowing to form the snout, formed by removals to each side.
