Title
Early Medieval copper alloy sword pommel
Description
English: Early Medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian)copper alloy sword pommel, 58mm long, 26mm wide and 19mm deep. The object is in good condition with a green patina and weighs 61.5 grams. The object is sub rectangular in section and is roughly lentoid in form, having a curved base and stepped upper surface. The object is made up of five 'segments' which graduate in size. The central one is sub triangular in form and is the largest. It contains a sub circular hole in its rounded upper surface. On either side of this is a smaller segment which is sub rectangular and also has a rounded upper surface. The two outer segments are triangular and slope gently to form a pointed edge where they meet the curved base. The object is hollow, although it has thick sides which were necessary to weight the sword correctly.
