Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy saddle pommel of late-Medieval to early Post-Medieval date. It is sub-oval in shape, with a convex front face and concave back face giving a semi-circular cross section. The upper corner of the object is missing due to old breaks. The front face is decorated with an incised transverse groove at its upper edge and a similar vertical groove running along the right hand edge. There are two groups of parallel diagonal lines that run from the bottom edge and follow the shape of the pommel to the now missing upper edge. It has a semi-circular projecting terminal knop at the base of the object. The back face is undecorated but has a small flattened rim around the edge of the concave interior. The entire object measures 38.39mm in length, 31.46mm in width, and weighs 22.48g. A number of similar saddle pommels are noted on the PAS database, with particularly close examples from the Isle of Wight (IOW-384692) and Hampshire (HAMP-59FE42). These indicate a date in the 15th to 17th century for the current example.
