Cast as a single piece the main section of the pommel is oval in section and hollow. A hole is present in the centre of each side of this section and an indented line is present around the lower rim. The main body is topped by another oval section with a circular design engraved on the top. The lower main body has an oblong aperature, which would once have contained the dagger tang. The pommel has a mid brownish-green patina and is slightly pitted. The pommel is 38.2mm long, 23.7mm wide at the lower section and 23.6mm wide at the top section, and weighs 58.5g.
