介绍（中）	C 形齿圈是至少自 16 世纪以来在北非制造的环形钻头的特征。T形吹嘴上穿有哥特式窗户图案和心形，这是一种受德国或西班牙铁制品影响的装饰，例如，在19世纪突尼斯制造的一些马钻头上发现。环形钻头是一种坚固的乐器，其特点是锁链被连接在吹嘴顶部的环所取代，环绕马的下颚。当缰绳被拉动时，戒指会压住马的敏感下巴。典型的伊斯兰世界，环形钻头在阿拉伯人存在期间被引入西班牙，然后由西班牙人保留用于他们的轻骑兵（用于热内特或吉内塔骑马风格）。在西班牙征服期间被带入新大陆，直到19世纪后期，它们在许多拉丁美洲国家也普遍使用。
介绍（英）	The C-shaped shanks are characteristic of the ring bits made in North Africa at least since the 16th century. The T-shaped mouthpiece is pierced with a gothic window motif and a heart, a type of decoration influenced by German or Spanish ironwork, and found, for example, on some horse bits made in Tunisia during the 19th century. The ring bit is a strong instrument distinguished by the fact that the curb chain is replaced by a ring attached at the top of the mouthpiece, going around the horse’s lower jaw. The ring would press the sensitive chin of the horse when the reins are pulled. Typical of the Islamic world, ring bits were introduced to Spain during the Arab presence, and then kept by the Spaniards for their light cavalry (used in the genette or jineta riding style). Brought into the New World during the Spanish conquest, they were also commonly used in many Latin American countries until the late 19th century.
