Description: | An Early Post-Medieval (1500-1550) copper alloy hollow cast pommel from a dagger. It measures 15.67mm in height and weighs 34.9g.The top is flat and trefoil in shape (measuring 32.51x31.90mm). Each foil is D-shaped with a curved outside edge. The D-shape is flanked by decorative transverse grooves. At the centre is a triangular area, further defined by three linear grooves. At the centre of this is a rectangular tang hole, now damaged.The sides curve inwards and taper below the top to the circular, open base (21.90mm, internal 13.96mm). The open end is flanked by two concentric grooves with an arrangement of diagonal grooves above. The sides of the object are decorated with three deep diagonal grooves, decorated on each side of the groove with incised diagonal lines. These grooves extend from either side of the foils.Read (2001 p86, fig.54, No.630) illustrates a very similar example which he dates to the early 16th century.
