Description: | A copper alloy mount or fitting possibly part of a sword or dagger pommel. It is circular, domed and hollow. There is a large circular hole in the apex, with aslight extension to the hole on one side. The hole may be where the grip and tang attached to the pommel. The outer face is decorated with eight shields arranged circumferentially, with their bases towards the hole. There are four different shield, then the designs are repeated. One is checky, one has alternate plain and shaded vertical stripes, one has a flecked background with an upward pointing triangle at the base (perhaps a castle with an archway), and the last has three upward pointing chevrons on it. The inner face carries a white metal coating. This may be the remains of the pommel filling. The object, which may have a different function, probably dates from the Medieval or Post Medieval period. It has a diameter of 39.53mm, thickness 2.38mm, weight 7.97g. Similar pommels are SUR-889272, KENT-DC6731 and SF-6E6656.
