Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy two part saddle pommel. Both parts are present. The pommel is circular in section with one solid semicircular end and one open end. At the open end half of the opening is straight and at right angles to the side the other half is curved, cutting down into the side along half its lengh. Around the straight part of the edge are three evenly spaced circular rivet holes. To one side of the straight edge is a projecting lobed tab with another rivet hole. The corrisponding point on the other side is slightly corroded but there is no evidence of a break suggesting it may not have been symetrical. The pommel is divided into two by a straight division running along its lengh and was cast as two seperate parts.It is 54.9mm long, 30.5mm in diameter and weighs 65 grams. These pommels are thought to date to the 16th or 17th century and a complete example is illustrated in Read (1988) page 84, No.4.
