Rein guide of enamelled bronzeThis enamelled bronze rein guide from a yoke, also known as a terret, was found at Auchendolly in Kirkcudbrightshire. It was made in south-east England between 50 and 100 AD, and may have arrived by long-distance gift exchange. The crescent-shaped rein guide has traces of red enamel. The reasons behind the movement of objects can only be guessed at. Often it was not the result of a commercial transaction as we know it today. Instead, the exchange could be used to create obligations and as a means of maintaining a social position. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
