Title
Early-Medieval bridle cheekpiece (fragment)
Description
English: Part of a copper-alloy bridle bit, dating from the Early-Medieval to Medieval periods.

The surviving piece takes the form of a straight arm with oval cross section. At one end this arm bifurcates; at the opposite end, there is a sub-globular terminal.

Length: 39.6mm; width: 14.7mm; thickness: 7.9mm. Weight: 12.11g.

These objects form part of a group of 11th century Anglo-Scandinavian horse trappings. A similar piece of an openwork bridle bit is illustrated by David Williams (2007: Fig. 3e).
