This bit has a greenish vertigris patina , but it reacts to a magnet, so a copper- iron alloy ?
It has a high port with a diamond shaped opening at its top which supports a small ring. Each side of the mouthpiece of the bit has a roller or thin sleeve.
The curved cheeks have strange rounded mushroom-like decorations. The lower cheeks and straight shackle bar have very simple incised decoration.
Mouthpiece 11cm (4¼")
Cheeks 14.5cm (5¾")
