  • Subjects: archaeology - EARLY MEDIEVAL
  • Description: Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- An incomplete, cast, copper-alloy late Early Medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) bit link from a horse harness (1000-1100 AD). The surviving end has the characteristic lozenge-shaped loop with three knops projecting from three corners and the D-sectioned arm projecting from the fourth corner. This arm terminates in a loop that is very worn on the opposite side. Between the arm and the loop is a thick collar moulding.This fitting would have formed part of the bridle gear and will have been attached to the ends of the iron bit adjacent to the cheek piece in order to secure the reins.A similar link was recorded under KENT-E64E84.For a short study on these finds see Williams, D. 2007. 'Anglo-Scandinavian Horse Harness Fittings', Finds Research Group AD 700-1700, Datasheet 39.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
