Strap union

Title
Strap union
Description
English: Incomplete cast copper-alloy link from a bridle or other horse-harness. The artefact has fractured around one of the loops, which appears to originally have been oval. The piece is asymmetrical with a thickened boss next to the incomplete loop and a shaft running from this to the other loop. This is oval internally but lozengiform externally, with three lobes around the edge.

The artefact has a clear front and reverse to the object, with the front having a rounded profile and showing the moulding along the shaft, while the reverse is flat and does not show the moulding. The reverse is also quite roughly cast, and was not finished to the same degree as the obverse. This piece may have been associated with a stirrup-strap mount and is likely to be of a similar date (11th century). The surface of the artefact has recently been mechanically removed.

See similar examples in Williams 2007.
