Description: | A complete spherical copper alloy sword or dagger pommel, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1800).The pommel is sub spherical in shape, with a hollow core. A sub circular hole is present in the top, and a sub square hole in the base, this would have originally accommodated the tang. One side of the pommel is flattened.The pommel has a height of 16.7 mm and a diameter of 21.5 mm. The top hole measures 6.5 mm by 5.9 mm. The lower larger hole measures 8.5 mm by 8.9 mm. It weighs 12.5 g.The pommel is a mid to dark green to red colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Soil is still present on the inside of the pommel.A similar spherical pommel has been recorded on the PAS database as HAMP-B18787 and is considered to be Post Medieval in dating (AD 1500 to AD 1800).
