Description: | A cast, copper-alloy sword pommel of Medieval date, c. 1250-1500.The pommel is complete and best described as somewhat biconical in shape, with a broad central band and a flat outer disc on both faces, such that in section the pommel appears to be hexagonal. A larger rectangular opening indicated where the pommel was inserted over the tang, with a smaller rectangular opening at the opposite end of the pommel, suggesting the tip of the tang of the sword was folded over on passing through the pommel. The larger rectangular hole has suffered from greater wear around its edges.The surface has an uneven patina.
