A complete copper alloy swivel, probably from a harness dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1300). The object consists of two loops (one trapezoidal, one oval) which are attached together by a central lug. The lug is integral to one of the halves and passes through a hole on the opposite half. One loop is semi rectangular in shape and the smaller loop is oval shaped. It has a dark green patina and is in good condition, with a full swivel movement. The size of this swivel probably means that it was too large for hawking purposes, so is much more likely to have formed part of a leash f…
