Description: | An almost complete copper alloy Medieval sword pommel, likely dating to c. 1300-1400 AD. This object is an example of a strongly developed wheel pommel, recorded as War Perkins Type VIII in the London Museum Medieval Catalogue. The pommel would have consisted of two flat circular discs one now broken and missing, which cascade outwards to connect to a flat, band circumference. On the upper portion of the band is the smaller perforation for the hilt. At the opposite side of the pommel is the larger opening. The pommel is decorated with a banded four petalled flower that appears to not be integral and it is likely that has been added later possibly compass drawn.Pommels of this type are known from the13th and 14th century see NMS-4A5313 for a very similar example.The diameter is 56mm and the weight 107.08g.Ward-Perkins, J.B., 1940.
