Title
Early-medieval sword pommel
Description
English: Copper-alloy sword pommel of 'cocked hat' type, rising from a rectangular base measuring 34 x 15 mm. At either end is a D-shaped lug pierced to take a rivet, one lug now broken. When looked at end-on, the pommel tapers smoothly with straight sides to a rounded top. When looked at side-on, the narrow faces are concave. The narrow faces are decorated with one narrow and two broad grooves which run across the bottom of the narrow face and down either side. Above these is a border of small circular stamps which runs all the way around each narrow face. The larger faces are more corroded, but appear to have had a similar stamped border. Any decoration on the top is now missing. Hollow underside. Surviving length with lugs, 45 mm; height 15 mm. 'Cocked hat' pommels can date from anywhere in the early Anglo-Saxon period, from the fifth to early eighth centuries AD.
