The leg is broken (fairly fresh break) at the top of the catch plate, where the leg is flat in section. This part ends with a transverse groove and then the main part of the leg is half-round in section, ending with 2 transverse grooves. The catch plate is chunky and nearly tubular. The horse's head terminal is smoothly modelled with slight swellings for eyes, a ridge down the nose and small oval nostrils. A very early Anglo Saxon type. Could have been made in Germany. Early 5th century
