Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Six of these characteristically Irish pieces are in the British Museum while over fifty are in Irish and other museums. They have long been recognised as having something to do with harness, and now seem best interpreted as yoke-saddles like those described recently by Littauer in Ancient Egyptian and Middle Eastern contexts. If that is correct, the inverted U-shape fitted over a leather pad on the horse's neck above the withers, and the upright terminals were attached to the yoke beam which, with throat strap and loose girth, formed the main harness arrangement for a pair of chariot-ponies. More examples should now be examined for evidence of wear to check this theory. | ||||
