It is hollowed within with slightly concave sides. The two shorter edges are flat to the reverse and are both worn but may have had lugs. There are no traces of rivets. The metal has some surface corrosion and is mostly a light green patina with patches of beige and light grey. There is no sign of decoration on any face.The pommel cap is 40.71mm long, 12.48mm wide and 15.19mm tall. It weighs 9.37g.The 'cocked hat' pommel is an early Anglo-Saxon type, examples of which can be found illustrated in MacGregor & Bolick (1993, 237-38).
