Description: | Copper-alloy cap from a wooden saddle pommel, U-shaped in section. One end has a long central rounded projection ending in a small sharp V-shaped point, and a rivet hole halfway between each corner and the start of the projection. The other end has some old breaks, but was originally tapered to a rounded end with a circular cut-out. The pommel is decorated with a double-line engraved border which encloses curvilinear engraved decoration, perhaps of flowers, with a triple-curved transverse band close to the tapered rounded end. The decoration has similarities to that from 17th-century furniture fittings and so the pommel is probably of that date. Total length including projection, 72 mm. Length without projection, at the open end of the U-shaped section, 32 mm. Maximum width, 32 mm. The metal varies from 2 to 2.5 mm thick. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
