Description: | Cast copper alloy Post Medieval knife pommel. The Pommel is rectangular in plan with a protruding sub-rectangular terminal at the apex. The pommel is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-circular in cross section. It has moulded decoration in the form of a lozenge on each edge, giving the appearance of two triangles when viewed in plan. There is a groove surrounding these mouldings, which form a collar around the terminal. The terminal has two depressed circles at the apex, with a horizontal line below, extending half way around the terminal, giving the impression of a crude zoomorphic face. The base of the pommel has a central rectangular slot across the width. The slot contains iron corrosion and the base has iron staining across the surface, which is all that remains of the end of the scale-tang knife. The pommel is mid to dark green in colour. It is 18.94mm long, 14.57mm wide, 9.59mm thick and weighs 9.51 grams.
