Description: | Post-medieval lead knife pommel, cast in the form of a grotesque bearded male head with a face on both faces of the oval-sectioned object. There are details of hair, eyes, nose and beard in relief, with a rectangular cut-out below the nose which corresponds with a central rectangular vertical slot containing corroded remains of the iron knife tang. Similar lead pommels are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database from Rudgwick, West Sussex (SUSS-6AAFA5), Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire (HAMP1432), with an apparent concentration on the Isle of Wight (IOW-219932, IOW-OB41C2, IOW-C8BEC7 and 57FO67). 17th century.
