early Medieval copper alloy sword pommel |
||
| Description |
English: Early Medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) copper alloy sword pommel, 58mm long, 43mm wode and 11mm thick. The object is in poor condition with a brown/green patina and weighs 66.02grams. The object is sub triangular in form and rectangular in section. Its upper surface has a centrally placed rectangular hole to accomodate the tang, which is flanked on its two edges with slight ridges. Each side of the object is slightly curved and has two crescent shaped holes, which are of differing sizes and may be signs of damage. Enclosing these holes is a faint Ringerike style ribbon decoration which curves around them and continues up and over the top of the pommel, the decoration forming the ridges flanking the topmost tang hole (see illustration). On the other side the decoration contunies, presumably as a mirror to the first side, but is masked by corrosion. The base of the pommel is decorated with two incised lines, echoing the ribbon decoration, which are aligned along the objects curved base. The underside is plain and has a further, wider rectangular tang hole. |
