Description: | A worn and ?incomplete cast copper-alloy artefact, probably a post-medieval saddle pommel half. The object is U shaped, with the uppermost section cut off diagonally. It is presumed that this upper section has suffered the loss of an attachment wing (cf. a two-piece pommel illustrated in Read (1995, 127; ref. 808)). The artefact is semicircular in cross-section and features a terminal knop. It decorated by a pair of diagonal grooves which follow the shape of the object at the attachment end, and by two pairs of diagonal grooves which travel from the attachment end decoration towards the terminal end. There is a further grooved border around the curved sides. It is stylistically similar to another object recorded on this database: reference " CORN-73A050 . Its partner piece was found in the vicinity (see this database, reference " HAMP-59F311 ); this other piece has a slightly different patination. The object has a mid-light green patina, while small flecks at the attachment end which suggest that the object might once have been gilded. | Subjects: | pommel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
