Title |
Early-Medieval cheekpiece (fragment) |
||
Description |
English: A fragment of a copper-alloy bridle cheekpiece, probably dating from the 11th century.
The surviving piece is roughly 'V-shaped', three of the projecting prongs along one of its sides showing evidence of having been broken off in antiquity. One corner of the object appears to take the form of a stylised zoomorphic head, with upturned snout, head-crest and possible eye. From the base of the adjoining neck projects a triple crested moulding, adjacent to which a sub-oval moulding interrupts the otherwise flat surface of the cheekpiece. The object measures 32.9mm long, 27.1mm wide, 6.4mm thick and weighs 14.5g. This piece was found close to a similar piece which is probably part of the same artefact (bridle), if not individal cheekpiece - see BH-424724. |
