Harness Bell (NLM-5EFFAE)
This medieval copper-alloy harness bell has changed little from the type that would have been familiar in the Viking Age. They were used alongside other ornaments to decorate harness. This one is made from a sheet of folded metal and still contains the small pea that would have made a noise when the horse moved.
