Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy horse harness fitting/link or strap distributor dating to the later early-medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) period. The strap fitting is plano-convex in section and consists of a central bar section with an openwork loop at either end; one loop is incomplete. At the junction between this loop and the central bar is a raised and rounded boss without any decoration. The reverse of the harness fitting is flat and undecorated. These objects were probably used in horse harnesses or the like and are generally dated to the 11th century AD.
