Description: | Post medieval copper alloy saddle pommel of 16th or 17th century dateThe pommel is fragmentary, represented by one half of the original (with a length of 52.2m, a width / diameter of 52.7mm, a surviving depth of 12.4mm and a weight of 14.7g). The domed pommel has vertical ribbed decoration. One side of the pommel had a sub oval opening. The half pommel was attached using two circular holes, a smaller complete hole (of 3.8mm diameter) and half of a composite, larger hole (of 6.2mm diameter). The half pommel was soldered to the missing half and the interior is hollow to accommodate the saddle lug. The original surface has been lost and the pommel has a mid-brown surface with some remnants of bright green patina on the interior.The pommel can be paralleled with an example recorded by Read (1988, p 127, no. 808) recovered from Bishopsteignton in Devon.
