Title
Early medieval cheekpiece
Description
English: Copper-alloy four-way harness link. Still complete and in good condition, it is cross-shaped with four arms extending from a central boss. The boss is a truncated cone in shape, 17 mm in diameter at the base and with a flat top 9 mm in diameter; it is 15 mm tall and the reverse is slightly hollowed. Each arm is trapezoidal in cross-section, and ends in a terminal which is triangular or lozengiform externally and oval internally. The oval perforations are slightly irregular, which may indicate wear; the arms are not at perfect right angles to each other, however, and the whole object may have been made originally slightly unsymmetrical. It has corroded to a brown patina. Late Anglo-Saxon, 11th century.
