Title |
Early Medieval bridle cheekpiece (fragment) |
||
Description |
English: A copper-alloy fragment of a bridle cheekpiece or similar fitting, dating from the Early-Medieval to Medieval periods.
The surviving piece is 'U-shaped', one end terminating in a probable zoomorphic head, the other bifurcating to form the remains of an openwork element. The zoomorphic head has a relief-moulded cheek, oval eye and scalloped crest. The snout is rounded and has an angled, sub-crescentic moulding. A 'Y-shaped' groove may de designed to represent bridle straps. The underside of the piece is flat. The object measures 42.9mm long, 31.8mm wide, up to 4.6mm thick (at the eye) and weighs 12.6g. This piece cannot be classified under Williams's current typology (2007: 2-4); however, it certainly belongs to the series of 11th C Anglo-Scandinavian horse trappings. Similar pieces on the PAS database include HAMP-0F66F3, HAMP-9A5B16, KENT-A4A477 and SF-656764. |
