| Title |
Medieval bridle bit cheekpiece |
||
| Description |
English: A copper-alloy medieval harness fitting; part of the cheekpiece from a snaffle type of bridle bit. It is a type classified as Ward Perkins' type D, with expanded bars.
Only part of the cheekpiece survives; one of the expanded arms and part of the strap loop and strap bar. The bar, round which the mouth piece would have been fixed, is circular in section. The loop, to which the headstall and reins would have been attached, is a rounded square in section. The junction of the loop, bar and arm is mounlded with V shaped grooves in the angle. The arm flares away from the bar and loop. It is a shallow triangle in section, faceted on the upper face, and decorated with two incised chevrons. It terminates in a thickened ridge. The metal has a smooth brown patina and the breaks are also well patinated and worn. Other examples can be seen on page 48 of Clark's (2004) The Medieval Horse. Type D cheekpieces are considered to be a later Medieval development. The bridle bit fragment measures 63.4mm long, 31mm wide and 7.34mm thick. 27.12g. |
