Snaffle Bit

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Greenish metal snaffle bit, broken in two pieces, with two rings on each side. The snaffle bit has a long, thin bar with a circular ring at one end and a smaller circular hole at the other end. The two pieces are positioned side by side, with the rings on the outside and the bars in the middle. The metal is greenish in color, with visible signs of wear and tear. The background is a plain gray surface. Snaffle Bit, likely by an unknown artist.
