Portion of the right-hand side of a head-stall, consisting of two arms of D-section at right angles, the shorter being curved somewhat. Both arms are imperfect. This example differs from other examples in possessing a buckle cast in with it. The buckle would certainly permit the head-stall to be more readily adjustable than would be the case with stalls of the Newstead type, and on the left-hand side of the stall there would, presumably, have been a loop to which the other end of the strap would have been fixed. The strap passing over the animal’s head was also probably furnished with a buckle for adjustment.
