Description: | Anglo-Saxon? copper alloy sword handle fitting, 21mm in diameter anmd 27mm long. The object weighs 10.91 grams and has a brown/green patina. The object consists of an oval shaped ring which is 9mm wide and 21mm in diameter, which has three triangular protrusions. One of these is 20mm long and terminates in a sharp and inwardly curving point. There would have been a similar one on the opposite side but this has snapped off. The other two are 10mm long and also terminate in a sharp point. The object is decorated with a swirling design which is very similar to that found on the Fetter lane, London, Pommel. This object would have been used to secure the sword handle into place directly below the pommel. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
