Description: | Cast copper-alloy sword pommel. Medieval, c.14th/15th century. In plan and cross section, the pommel is in the form of an irregularly sided octagon, with a rectangular slot in the top and bottom. Mass: 133g; length: 50.5mm; width: 52.2mm; depth: 46.9mm. The bottom slot is 18mm long x 11mm wide. The top slot is 5mm wide, but as there is a fragment missing from the pommel at one end of the slot, the length is not recorded. The pommel, which is broken in half, is hollow with a grey mortar-like material in the centre through which runs a channel for the tang of the sword. The external surfaces of the pommel have a well developed brown patina. Similar pommels have been recorded on the PAS database (Cf. SF-55BAB0, CAM-FB4785, KENT-B1E484).
