Description: | Late medieval or Post-medieval cast copper alloy dagger pommel.The pommel is sub square in plan and section with slightly divergent sides. To each corner is an integral moulding, petal-shaped, slightly on the diagonal, as if the pommel was twisted, with a diagonal groove between each. The mouldings extend from the lower edge of the pommel to curl up and over the top, so that when viewed from above it has four distinctive knops. Three of these mouldings are decorated with incised diagonal lines (though these do not extend onto the upper 'curled over' portion), whilst the fourth appears to be plain (or is exceptionally worn).To the top of the pommel is a rectangular slot which received the tang of the dagger. Otherwise the pommel is plain. The mouth of the pommel is square (though now slightly squashed) and the interior sides are straight. The object is abraded, but the original surface survives with a dark green patina. Worn areas are lighter green. The pommel is 27.1mm by 27.62mm wide, 20.2mm high and weighs 41.06g. The mouth of the pommel is 15.24mm by 12.3mm and the tang slot is 8.5mm long and 3.76mm wide.Similar pommels have been recorded as GLO-099AF5 and NMS-1600. It dates from the 15th to 16th centuries.
