| Title |
ESS-B46EE5 Late Bronze Age Harness Fitting |
||
| Description |
English: Late Bronze Age (1100-1000BC) cast copper alloy horse harness equipment. The fitting is part of a composite strap distributor. The fitting is in the form of a ‘toggle’, which is circular in plan with a central hole and a concave top edge. The main body of the fitting measures 30.29mm wide, 24.66mm long and is 13.03mm thick at the base, decreasing to a thickness of 9.94mm at the top edge. The central hole has a diameter of 5.81mm. The main body is hollow and has a sub-circular cross section. There is a sub-rectangular suspension/attachment loop projecting from the upper edge. This loop has a sub-rectangular cross-section. It is 3.31mm thick, 13.81mm wide and is 6.87mm high, with the central perforation measuring 8.41mm by 5.06mm. There are some sandy inclusions on the upper surface of the fitting, and this may be the remnants from the casting surviving in the object. The artefact has a dark grey-black patina, with small patches of copper corrosion. The artefact can be closely paralleled to examples in the Parc y Meirch (Abergele), Conwy hoard, in the National Museum of Wales and Hull Museum collections. This hoard dates to the Wilburton phase of the Late Bronze Age (circa 1150-1020BC), and comprises of most of a harness set for two chariot ponies, however the precise location of this type of strap distributor within the harness equipment has not been elaborated upon.
