Title
Early medieval dagger pommel.
Description
English: Late Early Medieval copper-alloy hollow-cast 'lobed' type sword pommel, 10th-11th century. Elongated oval in plan, with sub-triangular faces, made up of five rounded lobes increasing in size towards the centre. Circular perforation (diameter 4.7-5.5mm) through the central lobe. The base of the pommel curves upwards at the ends. Length 24.37mm, width 52.54mm, thickness 18.22mm, thickness of metal 2.3-5.0mm, diameter of perforation 4.7-5.5mm, weight 44.44g.

Late early-medieval pommels (Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian) were last thoroughly studied by Petersen in 1919. This one is a Petersen L type VI pommel, a fusion of Anglo-Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon fashions, and dates to the 10th or 11th century. This style of sword pommel is illustrated in K. Siddorn's 'Viking Weapons & Warfare', 2000, page 73, figure 37, ref no 10.
