Title
Early medieval copper-alloy sword pommel
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy sword pommel of early medieval date, probably dating from the 10th or 11th centuries AD. The pommel is of lobed form, with a central lobe which contains the irregularly shaped sub-oval aperture through which the tang of the handle would pass. This central lobe is flanked by two smaller lobes, each with terminal knops on the side. The base of the pommel curves up at the ends towards these knops. The pommel is open at the base, and the aperture is lozenge shaped. It is worn and only parts of the original surface remain, the rest having deteriorated through corrosion. The original surface of the metal has a smooth deep green patina, brown in places, whilst the corroded parts are a rougher paler green. The pommel measures 24.06 mm high, 50.72 mm long, 15.66 mm thick and weighs 27.4 grams.
