Quote:The Cirencester reconstruction assumes it's a breast pendant but there is no actual evidence for that assumption other than its size. The nature of the band and the position of the loops shows it is what has traditionally been called a hackamore. Still damned strange, though. Pendants may well have been backed, we don't know.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
