Title
Anglo-Scandinavian bridle fitting, reverse view
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy early medieval bridle fitting. It has a shank with a loop at either end. The shank is semicircular in section, having a curved face and flat reverse. Extending from one end of the shank is a complete, integral oval loop, on which are three rounded knops. The other end of the shank has a raised moulded band, beyond which would have extended the opposing loop. This is now missing, and all that remains are two truncated divergent projections. The break edges are worn smooth, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The object has a brown patina with patches of green corrosion product. The fitting is 48.4mm long, 27.04mm wide across the surviving loop, 7.76mm wide across the shank, 4.4mm thick and weighs 16.2g. This fitting is probably a cheek piece and is Anglo-Scandinavian in style. It dates to the 11th century. Similar examples have been found in Suffolk. See SF8730A2 and SF-E7BA78. More examples can be seen in Read, 2001, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, Somerset, Portcullis Publishing, page 62.
