Description: | A copper alloy mount or fitting possibly from a horse harness. The fitting is in the shape of a head in profile, with a highly stylised face giving most notably the impression of a long moustache which gives the piece a Saxon look. It is not clear how the piece was mounted as there are visible no means of attachment, but since the piece is broken off below the neck, it is possible that any means of attachment was below this. This might equally be a later furniture fitting or styalised top off something like a knife.Length 22.5mm, Width 18mm, Thickness 4mm.
