Object type: SWORD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A spherical hollow iron pommel from a large medieval sword, such as a broad sword. The pommel comprises a hollow ball with an opening to take the tang and two smaller openings to take a fitting by which means the tang was secured in place. The pommel is bound with six thin copper alloy bands which radiate from the smaller openings. There also appears to be a thin copper alloy wire arranged around the vertical axis. A very similar example comes from Oxfordshire (BERK-65B4A2). A date range for both in the region of c1200-1400 seems reasonable.
