Copper-alloy saddle pommel of post-medieval date (c. 1500-1700). It was apparently made in two halves which have been brazed together at a raised seam. Six further slightly lower ribs, each flanked by grooves, radiate from the midpoint of the seam, converging at a point which has a circular attachment hole just to one side. To either side of the point, both wings are lost (fairly old breaks) before there is another original curving edge at the back. It is 71mm tall, a maximum of 40mm in diameter, and weighs 116.1g.

Incomplete broken and distorted Post-Medieval copper-alloy saddle pommel, dating to the 16th or 17th centuries. The pommel is cast in two separate equal halves which were found independantly a week apart and separated by roughly 10 metres distance. Recombined, they form a bell-shaped body with a split small knob at each apex. Each half is decorated with a grooved border with the body divided into segments by twin parallel lines. The object has a medium brown colouration with a rough surface. Similar examples can be found at SOM-F96BB3, SOM-7D382C and SUR-764DF7 on the PAS database. Th…

An incomplete Post-Medieval copper-alloy saddle pommel dating to the 16th or 17th centuries. It is only missing its arms at its base. The hollow and domed pommel appears to have been cast as two halves but is now concreted together although a small gap can bee seen between the two near the dome. It comprises a short cylinder with a domed end at the top of which is a domed raised pellet. Near its base there is a curved cut away area that is equally split between the two pieces of the pommel. On the opposite side to the cut away the base has a chipped edge from which two projecting…
