The pommel has been cast in one piece and has a squared head, which is domed in profile and is decorated with an integral semi-circular knop at each corner. The knops are decorated with between 2 and four vetical grooves. The apex of the dome has a sub-rectangular hole in the centre. When viewed from the underside it is apparently that the apex of the pommel is more thick than the body. The outer surface of the domed portion i further decorated with grooves forming a '+' shape with more fine grooves about the knops. The lower portion of the pommel, in profile, is narrowed and forms a short circular sectioned cylinder. The underside of the pomment and the cylindier measures 19.64mm diameter on the interior. The pommel measures 32.21mm in width and 31.52mm in length across the top, by 19.82mm in height. The weight is 54.3g. For other similar examples, see PAS record Nos.SF-BD7152 and BH-D7164, BH-D03691, and NMS-1DE852, dating to the late medieval to early post-medieval dates, mid 15th to mid 17th centuries.
