A copper-alloy object, possibly a link from a bridle chain dating to the Roman period. The fastener consists of two conjoined oval-shaped loops. The fastener has a length of 10mm, a width of 26mm and a thickness of 4mm. The fastener has a weight of 3 grams. Although this object resembles a bridle chain link, it does not fit into the typologies outlined by Lau (2014) or Wilbers-Rost (1994) and so it is not possible to be certain of its identification or date.
