Summary
[edit]| Description |
A bronze snaffle bit in the British Museum. Tag reads: "Horse riding. This horse-bit has large bar cheek-pieces for attaching the bridle and holes for the straps. The knobbed snaffle must have been uncomfortable for the horse but enabled the rider to control it with the slightest movement of the reins. There are considerable signs of wear at the junction of the two rings in the centre, indicating that this object had been extensively used before it was buried. Mid 6th-4th century BC, Deve Huyuk, north Syria. 108759" See BM database entry for more details. |
