Description: | Fragment of a Post Medieval copper alloy saddle pommel. The pommel would have been in two parts (see SUR-156CE3), although in this instance only part of one half remains. It is now a broadly rectangular plate in plan, half the length of the outer side, with the original edge down one side and a break on the other. The top is on an angle and is beginning to curve away from the plate. The front is decorated with three incised lines running vertically down the flat plate with faintly stamped circles and lozenges made of pellets between the lines. The curved top has four incised crescents, points facing the lines on the plate. The plate is thicker towards the complete edge, thinning towards the curved top section and break. The rest is lost to old breaks. It is 34.2mm in length, 16.0mm in width and 2.75mm thick at the rectangular plate and 1.5mm; it weighs 6.84g.These pommels are thought to date to the 16th or 17th century and a complete example is illustrated in Read (1988) page 84, fig 4.
