Title
Early Medieval Wword Pommel
Description
English: Copper Alloy Sword Pommel. Hollow pommel of average thickness 4-5mm with an apical sub-rectangular hole to engage the end of a sword tang, and a round rebate on the underside at either end, presumably engaging with either the handle or grip, or a separate base for the pommel. The base is slightly rounded and overall, the pommel conforms most closely to Oakshott's Type A or Type B forms, suggesting a date of between AD 950 and AD 1100. It appears to be something of a transition between a later Viking or Anglo-Saxon 'cocked-hat' form and an early Norman 'Brazil-nut' form. The latter form becoming popular on the continent by around AD 1000. The sub-rectangular hole for the top of the tang indicating it might be towards the earlier end of this date range. Seems to fall between for example: Oakeshott type A & B 'Brazil-nut' form. Also Petersens Saertype 15, Greibig type 15 or 18.

The length is 58mm, the height is 36mm, the width is 22mm.
