Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy spherical object which is possibly part of a pommel from a post medieval sword or walking stick. The object is elliptical and convex. It measures 25.9mm long, 17.5mm wide and 1.9mm thick. All the edges are breaks but only one small area is recently broken. The outer surface is decorated with a curved double line with radial lines on the outer side and illegible decoration within the double border. It is very worn. The inner surface is undecorated. The object has a smooth black and green patina. It probably dates from the post medieval period. Examples of walking stick pommels can be found in Bailey (2001) Detector Finds 3.
