Description |
English: A badly corroded but complete cast copper alloy sword pommel, dating to the 9th/ 10th century (length: 25.8mm; width: 55.3mm; thickness: 19.2mm; weight: 55.29g). Of a roughly triangular-shaped design, the pommel is convex on the underside, and is decorated with five stepped and rounded lobes, each increasing in size with the largest in the centre. The pommel has a hollow interior with an off-set rectangular hole at the top for the sword's tang to go through. The pommel is worn, corroded and in a poor condition with a patchy dark green/ brown patina. This style of sword pommel/ hilt is illustrated in Kim Siddorn's 'Viking Weapons & Warfare', 2000, page 73, figure 37, ref no 10. Additionally, there are two similar examples illustrated in John Blair's 'Anglo Saxon Oxfordshire', 1994, page 98, fig 59. One of them was found in the Thames at Ten Foot Bridge, Chimney, Oxfordshire and the other found in the Thames at Wallingford Bridge. Both examples are also dated to the 9th/ 10th century AD. |
