Description: | Cast copper alloy sword pommel, square in plan and sub-oval in profile with four longitudinal side lobes and a central rectangular perforation for the blade tang which tapers from 10 mm in length at one end to 6 mm at the other.A similarly shaped pommel was found in Suffolk (SF-15A447) and is published in the PAS Annual Report for 2007 on pages 129 & 372, No.269, and is dated to the 14th century, because of the style of its decoration.Mills (1999) illustrates a bronze sword pommel with a similar rectangular aperture on page 95, No.NM.249, which is dated to c.1300.Williams (1999) illustrates an example of a globular faceted pommel pierced for a rectangular-section tapering tang from Surrey on page 189, Fig.12, No.105, which is dated to the 14th century.
