Early medieval sword pommel |
||
| Description |
English: A copper alloy pommel from either a sword or a seax of early medieval date. The object is of late lobed form, probably of 10th or 11th century date. The base, which curves at the ends, would have rested upon a concave pommel bar. The interior of the pommel has an oval opening at the base and converging sides towards the circular aperture at the apex of the pommel which accommodated the protruding sword tang. The exterior is decorated with a central lobe flanked on each side with smaller lobes and long terminal knops.
This form is considered to be of English origin (Davidson 1962, 55-6), but is called "Viking" and "of late Viking style" by Oakeshott (1991, 78 and 81). Late early-medieval pommels (Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian) were last thoroughly studied by Petersen in 1919. This one is a Petersen L type VI pommel, a fusion of Anglo-Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon fashions, and dates to the 10th or 11th century. |
