Description: | A medieval to postmedieval copper alloy saddle pommel in two halves. Each half has been cast separately and then probably soldered together. Both halves are U-shaped in plan with a triangular attachment wing below. The halves are convex and open semi-circular in cross-section. They are decorated on the exterior with a series of vertical grooves which follow the shape of the item. The wings are undecorated and have a series of circular holes, presumably for attachment. A similar two-piece example can be seen in Brian Read's 'History Beneath our Feet' p 84, number 4. Dimensions: 1= Length 59mm; Width 32mm; Thickness 3mm. 2= Length 60mm; Width 31mm; Thickness 3mm.
