Description: | An incomplete copper alloy artefact of uncertain identification and function, possibly a sword pommel of Early Medieval to Medieval dating (AD 700 to AD 1500).The artefact is sub cuboid in shape. A circular perforation (hole) is present in the base, with an internal diameter of 8.3 mm. A sub circular flat border is present around this perforation. Possible arms extend to either side. These arms curve upwards, with a recurved tip. The top of this possible sword pommel extends with these curvilinear shapes and it has been folded over with the tip touching the base.It measures 63.7 mm in length, 26.5 mm wide and 27.5 mm tall. It weighs 115.3 g.The artefact is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. The possible pommel may have been affected by heat, which has resulted in the deformation of the artefact.
