Description: | A copper-alloy pommel from a post-Medieval dagger or sword.The pommel is hollow and has a domed upper two thirds, the surface of which is decorated by nine V-sectioned grooves. Equally spaced, these grooves radiate outwards from a central aperture, which is filled by the corroded remains of an iron rivet. A circumferential groove extends around the base of the domed portion, truncating the lower end of the raised segments. A ridge separates this area from the lower third of the pommel, where the side angles inwards, the surface decorated by a series of oblique, parallel grooves. The basal opening is circular.Diameter: 31.9mm; height: 18.5mm. Weight: 53.49g.Similar pommels are illustrated by Brian Read, who suggests a possible 16th century date (2001: 76/Fig. 54, nos. 630 - 632).
