Snaffle Bit
The Snaffle Bit by unknown artist shows a bronze snaffle bit with a dark patina, featuring a central link and two side pieces that are mirror images. The bit has a long, thin bar in the center with a loop at each end, and two ornate pieces on either side. Each ornate piece has curved ends and a decorative design. The background of the image is a light beige color. The snaffle bit is laid flat on the surface. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or historical piece.
