Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Anglo-Scandinavian horse harness cheek-piece dating to the 11th century. The cheek-piece is rectangular in plan and has a D-shaped cross section, with a rounded terminal at one end, a rounded central rib in the centre of the length and is broken at the opposing end. This end would have expanded to form openwork links for the bridle strap and would likely have been decorated with scrolled patterns. The reverse of the cheek-piece is flat and plain. Williams (2007) Type 2.
