Description: | A cast copper-alloy dagger pommel of probable late medieval to early post-medieval date (see B. Read; 2001; pp. 86; no.632).
The object has been cast in one piece is crown-shaped in appearance. The upper portion has a central domed section, with an indented cross, moulded line decoration in each of the quarters and four equally-spaced, wide, flap-like lobes; there is also an irregular hole at the centre, which would originally have contained a rivet. The bottom section is comprised of a band, which tapers slightly in diameter from top to bottom and is decorated with two horizontal indented lines ? one at the top and one at the bottom. The underside of the piece is hollow.
It measures 27.1mm in diameter, by 21.1mm high and 2.3mm thick (at the base of the band). The weight is 43.3g. | 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: | 1450
