Early Medieval Sword Pommel ILLUSTRATION by J. Gibbons |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete silver gilt sword pommel cap of 'cocked-hat' or concave-sided pyramid type. The profile has flat upper and lower edges (height 17mm). A longitudinal hollow on the broken underside contains traces of corroded solder. The surviving upper face is decorated with two deep pointed-oval grooves containing gilding, with an additional groove (also gilded) along the inside edge of both. The surviving end has twin projecting lugs both with dome-headed silver rivets (length 8mm). One face has three horizontal grooves bordering the lower edge, the other face has four grooves, each of which contains traces of gilding. The surface of the silver, probably originally gilded overall, is of a dull grey appearance, and the rivets are partly molten, indicating that the object has been subjected to secondary heating or burning. This form of pommel belongs to a group of 6th-century Anglo-Saxon swords that have a predominantly Kentish distribution. |
