Terret (Rein Guide)
Copper alloy with champleve enamel
Celtic or Roman
Made 1-100 in Britain

Accession # 1988.79

The Celts' use of chariots in warfare was legendary in the ancient world. This terret, made at the time of Rome's conquest of Britain, comes from one of numerous Celtic workshops that specialized in the production of richly decorated, high-quality enamel fittings for horse and chariot.
