Title
Early Medieval copper alloy sword pommel
Description
English: Late early medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) copper alloy sword pommel, 54mm long, 26mm high and 18mm wide. The object is in good condition and weighs 59.12grams. The pommel is sub triangular in form with a rounded base and sub rectangular in section. It is a tri-lobed type and is complete. It consists of a central sub hexagonal section which has a rounded upper surface containing a small rectangular hole for the tang. Either side of this is a smaller sub rectangular area, again with a rounded upper surface, and each side termintaes in a sub triangular protrusion. The object has a shiny silver like surface, suggesting a high tin content. The Pommel fits Petersons type L and is a fusion of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian styles.
