Title |
Anglo-Scandinavian harness fitting |
||
Description |
English: A small harness link of Anglo-Scandinavian design, dating to the late Anglo-Saxon period. The artefact is made of lead, and would have had two rings either side of it to form the bridle cheekpiece. The rings would have been attached to the 'arms', which extend horizontally from either side of the artefact. Between these two arms there is a head of some sort of creature. The face has eyes, nose, mouth and ears on top of its head (like a bear). The artefact measures 41.32mm (from the tips of the 'arms'), 26.82mm (from the creature's ears to his 'chin'), 11.97mm from the tip of his 'nose' to the reverse of the artefact, and weighs 19.68g. The reverse of the artefact is hollow (behind the creature's face). This component of the bridle cheekpiece is complete, although the rings do not remain. The metal has started to deteriorate and has a light-greenish-grey surface which is powdery. |
