Description: | A cast copper-alloy pommel probably from a dagger or small sword of late medieval or Post-Medieval date 1300-1700 AD. The pommel is oval in plan, profile and cross section. It has a hollow interior which is filled with iron corrosion. The upper and lower surfaces are undecorated. The lower surface is pierced by a vertical square shaped hole, whilst the upper is more circular - the one on the upper edge is considerable smaller than the lower. The artefact is a mid brown colour with an abraded surface patina. A direct parallel has not been found - however similar examples are dated on the PAS database as coming from either the Medieval or post medieval periods.The pommel measures 26.3mm in length, 30.3mm width and is 20.5mm high, it weighs 21.52 grams. The upper hole measures 5.9mm diameter and the lower one 6.1mm x 6.4mm
