Dagger pommel |
||
Description |
English: Copper-alloy pommel from a medieval sword or dagger. Viewed from the top it is slightly domed and almost circular, with seven slight facets around the edge forming a heptagon with rounded corners. The maximum 'diameter' is 29 mm. Each of the rounded corners is cut off by a broad V-shaped groove, and from either end of each one a similar groove runs at an angle to the centre. The inner facet of each of the outer grooves has a pair of short oblique lines cut into it, and some of the radiating grooves have a fine zig-zag or series of chevrons along the base. There is a space at the centre where the radiating grooves do not quite meet, and off-centre within this is a rectangular hole measuring 6 x 4.5 mm. The sides again have seven facets, perhaps with smaller facets between, and slope inwards to a lower collar which measures 24 mm across. The sides are undecorated apart from a groove just above the collar, which again has a fine zig-zag or series of chevrons along its base. The collar is slightly thickened and decorated with a series of oblique lines giving a twisted cable effect. The base is open and the interior is hollow; it does not slope outwards towards the top as the exterior does, but is instead gently rounded. Total height 17 mm. This pommel is perhaps a little small for a sword. No exact parallel can be found in Ward-Perkins's (1940) typology; the closest might be the top of the 'scent-stopper' sword pommel, his type XI, which dates to the first half of the 15th century. |
