Description: | An incomplete, Medieval C13th-C15th, Copper alloy, cast, horse harness, sub-circular strap junction or distributor. Several Medieval horse harness sections were linked together by cast copper alloy junctions. The oval or distorted circular-shaped loop attachment has worn or corroded so far it has broken through as has the other expanded bar end. It is in very worn and corroded condition with a pale green matt surface on a pale brown background core. This is likely to date from 1200-1499. Ref.
