A Post Medieval, copper alloy saddle pommel.
The pommel consists of two parts, which were likely soldered together. They are both shaped similar but one half is slightly longer than the other. The two halves both have a semi-circular cross-section, are both "U" shaped, and both cut off diagonally at the top with one half having an attachment at the top. There is also a small knop in the centre of the dome, halved by the split.
The surface design is linear with four doubled lines travelling from the centre of the dome to the rim. There is another doubled line across the break edge on the longer side and another across the perimeter.
