Description: | Copper alloyProbable Bridle Link fragment. Cast loop of internal diameter 12mm with heavy trifid collared moulding, which meets an integrally cast moulded terminal. The terminal is probably broken from the further extent of a round section bar of diameter 11mm, with a scar showing where the terminal became detached. A less extensive patch of corrosion on the opposite side of the loop is less easy to interpret, and may represent a casting sprue The slight curvature of the main loop indicates it to have engaged a ring; the lower edge of the loop is heavily worn on both sides. Suggested date: Late Iron Age, 300 BC-AD100.Length: 37.6mm, Width: 22.9mm, Thickness/Diameter of loop: 22mm, Weight: 45.24gms.
