Description: | A hollow cast copper-alloy pommel probably from a post-medieval dagger. The artefact is circular in plan with a cusped circumference resulting from the decoration on the upper surface which takes the form of eight segments created by grooves radiating from a central rectangular slot. The object is carinated in profile. The segments are echoed on the lower half by facets. As a result the aperture on the lower surface is externally octagonal, but is circular internally (int. dia.: c. 19mm). Each of the segments and each of the facets below are decorated with a central circular punch mark. The segments also feature a groove towards the flared end. The object is now a red-brown colour, overlaid by green corrosion product and a possible black coating or patina. The metal, along with the regular form of the artefact, suggests an early post-medieval date.
