Card/Transcription No.: 122i

122

Parts of harness, trappings, etc.
Impossible to assign the parts of the harness to any chariot in particular, so they are treated
here under this number, as most of it was found in neighbourhood of body 122. 
Unless otherwise stated these all consist of sheet gold, fastened to a backing made up of 5
layers - leather, cloth, gesso, cloth, leather, the leather parts having largely melted & run.
Some of it is undoubted harness; such as the blinkers, but the larger part seems to belong to
something else, possibly to quivers. Cannot be harness, for it sorts roughly into three sets of
single objects, which would be useless for a pair of horses. Many of the pieces were sewn
round the edges.
