Description: | A corroded, hollow, cast copper-alloy pommel probably from a post-medieval dagger. The artefact is sub-trefoilate in emerging from a narrowed base which is circular in profile. The base has been broken at various points as a result of old damage that has resulted in losses. The circular core continues through the object with a central perforation through the circular top that travels all the way through. The core is decorated with a central pair of longitudinal ridges on both wide sides. The side wings have flat sides at an angle of about 140 degrees from the base. The ends of the wings feature moulded ridges. There is a further ridge at the internal angle of the core and the wings. The object is now a red-brown colour, overlaid by off-white and orangey corrosion product.
