Title: HARNESS FITTING [Go to resource]
Description: An incomplete copper alloy Anglo-Scandinavian horse harness fitting / strap distributor of the late Early-medieval period, c. 11th century AD. The strap distributor consists of a D-shaped bar with elliptical openwork terminal at one end, with a rounded knop at three 'corners'. There is a rounded projection at the centre of the bar with an indentation on the reverse; this also has a knop above and below the main bar. The opposite end of the strap distributor is broken and missing but would have reflected the openwork terminal. These items are likely to have been used for horse harnesses.
