Description: | A hollow cast copper-alloy pommel from a post-medieval dagger. The artefact is oval in plan with a cusped circumference resulting from the decoration on the upper surface which takes the form of eight segments created by incised lines radiating from a central rectangular slot. The object is carinated in profile. The aperture on the lower surface is broadly octagonal. There is a double incised line at the base. The outer surfaces are decorated by incised cross-hatching, although as most of the patina has been lost this decoration only survives in limited areas. The remainder of the object has corroded to a red-brown colour, which, along with its regular form, suggests a post-medieval date. Measures 14.99mm long and 31.85mm in diameter; weighs 35.08gms.
