I'm not entirely sure because it's very thin/flat and not sturdy, so it probably wouldn't be able to hold a strap. I'll post more photos so you can see it more clearly.

The force is distributed over 3 rings and is on one side of the horse, and the same again on the other side.

So, I've added 5 new photos where you can see the strength a little better. I feel like I would only hang a maximum of 5 kilos on it, otherwise it would probably bend. Does it still fit or is it too fragile for the horse?

I think it is a belt distributor for horse harness. Read the description of this version, it is also described in terms of force distribution Open link: www.limesmuseum.de

Great, you are the best and the text explains it well - I have now made a belt distributor out of it 👍
