Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy saddle pommel fragment. The fragment is part of one half of a two part pommel (for an example with both halves see SUR-156CE3). It has a semi-circular end and straight sides and is domed, with a semi-circular cross section. The underneath is concave and it is thickest at the rim, where it is 2.3mm thick. The font is decorated with a raised rim and incised vertical lines than meet at a point on the top rim. The lower edge is irregular but other examples are cut off at 45 degrees with a piece extending lower at one side suggesting this example preserves the basic shape although the edge is damaged. On the side which extends further down there are two circular holes and half of a third. The rest is lost due to old breaks. It is 62.6mm long, 40.1mm wide and 18.2mm thick; it weighs 28.75 grams.These pommels are thought to date to the 16th or 17th century and a complete example is illustrated in Read (1988) page 84, fig 4.
