Description: | A complete copper alloy sword pommel of medieval to Post-Medieval date. The hollow pommel comprises a short circular shaft with bulbous rounded top. A rectangular slot is present at the top of the pommel from which the surface is divided by deep V-sectioned radiating grooves into an octofoil.The metal has dark green patina and is worn. The pommel is 32.2mm in diameter, 3.1mm thick and weighs 32.6g.Comparable examples have been recorded on the PAS database as LEIC-158DA1, NMS-31EB60, NMS-0C90A0 and NMS-2482D4 which are attributed to the late 15th or 16th century. However, LANCUM-9BBEE0 and LVPL-5427A6 are also similar and have had a broad medieval date suggested. The patina of this object supports a later date.
