Description: | Medieval copper alloy sword pommel. It appears to be an abraded Type VIII wheel-shaped pommel (Ward-Perkins 1993:22). It is circular in plan and sub-octagonal in section - an effect created by the chamfered edges typical of the type. There is a rectangular perforation through the length of the pommel, larger at the blade end and narrowing towards the butt. This form of pommel is most common in the 13th and 14th centuries.Dates to between c1250 and c1500 AD.The length is 36mm, the width is 40mm thickness 26mm and the weight 110.71g.Similar examples on the database include ESS-C67D67, LON-5D8CF3, IOW-D01F96, BUC-C66975 (all decorated), NCL-DA7463, & NMS-5D4802 (both undecorated).
