Description: | A cast copper alloy and wrought iron unidentified object of possible post-medieval date. The object superficially resembles an early medieval sword pommel but the decoration is not consistent. It measures 63.4mm by 28.3mm by 25.3mm and weighs 78.1g and consists of a central near spherical boss to which have been soldered two smaller lobes with rounded ends. Each section is hollow and the central boss contains an iron rod with a square or rectangular cross-section. The interior of each of the side lobes is divided into two sections. The base of the outer section is open but the inner section has only a small rectangular opening. The external faces of the object are covered in moulded foliate decoration and there are faint traces of silvering in several places.
