Title
Iron Age harness fitting
Description
English: Fragment of Iron Age harness fitting. The main part is crescentic, of rounded section and decorated on both sides. A scar at both ends of the crescent show that a small projection has been broken off. Just back from both ends of the crescent project round sectioned integrally cast bars, both curving to a break. On both sides decoration consists of a very slightly recessed crescentic area containing upstanding dots (seven on one side and eight on the other) against a background off cast or engraved basket-weave pattern. This combination of motifs can be seen on a sword pommel from East Walton (HER 3951) and a stud from Wreningham (HER 28495) as well as on torcs from Snettisham (HER 1487). The object, which is surprisingly heavy (5.23g) considering it size (24 x 12 x 7mm), may have formed part of an openwork connecting plate from a harness such as that from Berru, Alsace, France (Jacobsthal 1944, 186). 1st century BC.
