This style of sword pommel is illustrated in K. Siddorn??s ??Viking Weapons & Warfare??, 2000, page 73, figure 37, ref no 10. | Subjects: | Anglo-Scandinavian pommel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
