Title
sdingle view of an Early Medieval cheekpiece.
Description
English: The object is a bridle fitting, a component of the cheekpiece. These tend to date to the 11th century (Geake 2001). It is made from cast copper alloy.

The central portion of the cheekpiece is a rectangular block. The reverse is flat, the upper surface slightly moulded, and sinks in the centre becoming slightly concave. On this surface, at either end, there is a vertical groove. At either terminal of this block there is an integral lozenge shaped loop. The hole in the centre of these loops is circular. There are no signs of wear on the loops which you would expect to see on a well used cheekpiece. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated. On one loop there is a slight trace of gilding, otherwise the surface has a mottled mid green patina.

In length the cheekpiece is 58.9mm, 20.9mm wide and weighs 16.84g.
