A complete cast copper alloy harness fitting in the shape of a ring. The thickness is assymmetrical and may be a result of wear on one side over the other. The thicker side also appears to have three points, however the entire object is heavilly worn. There is also a dark green patina covering the surface, as well as surface corrosion. It is thought to date from the Iron Age or early Roman period. Similar objects may be found on the database WAW-8C11F6 and Cam-018686.
