A cast copper alloy harness fitting of probable medieval to post medieval date. It consists of a 13mm scallop decorated strap fitting connected to a 12mm offset loop by an 11mm semi-circular sectioned bar. The bar has two decorative raised collars at the junction with the strap fitting end. The reverse is both plain and flat. Probably a bit-link to attach the reins to the cheek piece.
