Description
Cast bronze bridle bit for a horse. The bit consists of two flat plates at either end, in the shape of horses, and a moveable bit piece with curled ends that passes through each of the plates. A thick ring with two protruding elements, one like a nail head with an "X" shape engraved on the top and the other resembling an animal head, is also part of the bridle bit. This ring may have attached to the top of the leather piece that would have run above the horse's head. The bridle bit has been secured on a modern black stand.
