| Full description: |
A flax rope dog harness. It is made of a single length of rope which has been fixed to a metal ring with a lark's foot knot, and either end forms a shoulder strap which is then spliced back on itself. There are two strips of canvas joining the rope shoulder straps together, one of which is faintly marked in ink with the letter 'H'.
