Description: | A copper-alloy cast pommel cap most likely to be early medieval in date, although no published parallel could be found. This pommel cap is rectangular in overall plan and triangular in cross-section, it measures 37.2mm in length, 19.5mm in width and 10.2mm in height. Its front face projects and tapers to a flat rectangular top with a rectangular hole through the centre, the back face is hollow. Although rectangular in overall shape the pommel cap has open oval indentations which create a cross shape. It is very similar in size and shape, with a rectangular plan and projecting front face with a flat top, to Anglo-Saxon 'cocked hat' type pommel caps although these do not have a central rectangular hole but integral attachment lobes. | Subjects: | pommel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
