Title
Early-medieval bridle cheekpiece fragment
Description
English: Decorative fragment of bridle cheekpiece, in the shape of a Ringerike-style animal head and neck. The neck springs from the side of a broken circular loop, curves downwards and then quickly turns a right angle to form a long and elegantly arching curve which tapers upwards towards the head. The neck is decorated with two engraved lines made up of tiny rocked punchmarks. The head has a crest of three points, rather like a cock's comb, and a long up-curved snout also ending in three points. The engraved border lines of the neck continue around the points of the snout and comb; a short transverse line cuts off the head, and a ring and short line make up an eye. The breaks are oldish (not extremely old). The surviving length is 44.5 mm, and the greatest width (measured across the head) is 29.5 mm. The cheekpiece is 5 mm thick at most.
