Description: | An incomplete early Medieval cast copper alloy link from a harness fitting. The head is lozengiform with three knops at each point and a circular opening in the middle. It is attached to a stem which then connects to the central boss. The reverse of the boss is hollow, where the rest of the link is solid. The break is located at the central boss, and the object originally may have been a double-ended link. The link is in fair condition, and there is some corrosion products over most of the surface. It is believed to date from circa 11th century to the 13th century. Similar harness links may be found on the database SF-3215C3, NMS-904B24, and BUC-F562A2. The link is 46.36 mm long, 27.3 mm wide (max width), and 8.74 mm thick (max thickness), and weighs 15.15 g.
