Not a lot of equestrians here (including me, Ive only ever shown a talent for falling off
![]() However, I am obsessively curious and not hesitant to search online to find out about horse trappings, and this whatever it is does not seem to correspond to head gear. I can relate to the poor horses wearing this stuff knowing how much I 'love' my CPAP (not). While the chains seem to resemble curb chains, the way this is closed rather than adjustable with the fixtures terminating in one loop defeats the idea of dual control , so who knows what this is. Maybe some sort of hanging loop for some sort of utility item ? |

looks cool and looks very old
maybe it is part of a fancy hobble perhaps a part that went around the neck? |

Thank you both for comment! That the item has nothing to do with horses someone written by mail, so you are correct Jim.
Interesting suggestion Joe. Hope one day someone recognized the item. ![]() Regards, Detlef |

I think it's something from which to hang your security pass.
Best wishes Richard |

Without knowing the size this is a bit of a guess but perhaps a chatelaine (so Richard's guess not far off)

Thank you Richard and Drd,
Maybe you both on a correct path, a friend suggested that it could be a necklace from a priest to wear a big cross. ![]() Regards, Detlef |

If we knew how big this is it may help. Obviously the "key" is designed to be able to rotate for some reason. If the size is right maybe it could be a chain for a fob watch.
