Mexican Ring bit
An old steel ring bit. This severe mouthpiece is also known as a "Mameluke" bit. This example has one floral boss or dome decorating a cheek, the other is missing, originally there would have been 8 silver studs on each cheek, many are now lost. I have another example which still has the fine handmade chains which would link behind the curb. The bit has a high port with wires across which support copper rollers. There is a curved slobber or shackle bar, one rein loop is damaged
