Horse Snaffle in the shape of winged ibexes, bronze, cast, engraved, bronze, Total: Height: cm; Width: cm; Depth: 11 cm, Harness, ibex, antique, The three-part snaffle consists of the bit bar turned up at the ends and two cheek plates in the shape of winged ibexes or mouflons. The cheek plates are only relieved on one side and have a round hole. The inner surface has two eyelets at the top and was probably used to hold straps that were passed over the horse's nose to distribute the weight better. Below the eyelets are two thorns, which probably served to attach a pad.
