Description:		Incomplete harness strap distributor of the late Anglo-Saxon to early Norman period. The item comprises the terminal loop from one end, which is lozenge-shaped with three knops, and a short length of the rounded connecting bar. Brian Read illustrates similar incomplete examples (see ref. below) and comments that they are ".....plausibly from c.11th century Anglo-Scandinavian cheek pieces, however, detached terminals are difficult to categorise; it is a style that continued on strap distributors until well into the 12th century."

Description:		An incomplete harness strap distributor of the late Anglo-Saxon to early Norman period. It comprises one complete arm, one incomplete arm, and a moulded boss between them. The complete arm has a lozenge-shaped terminal loop with three knops. The central aperture of the loop is partially obscured by metal (unfettled), possibly indicating that the fitting was rejected before completion. Brian Read illustrates similar incomplete examples (see ref. below) and comments that they are ".....plausibly from c.11th century Anglo-Scandinavian cheek pieces, however, detached terminals are difficult to categorise; it is a style that continued on strap distributors until well into the 12th century."
