Article code26-1804
Medieval iron sword pommel displaying a characteristic truncated-wedge scent-stopper form, with a broad flattened upper end, tapering sides and bevelled corners. The central opening would originally have accommodated the tang of the sword, securing the hilt construction and providing balance to the blade.

The restrained geometric form is characteristic of functional medieval sword furniture, combining structural strength with a simple and imposing appearance.

The pommel will be delivered on a custom-made modern display stand, as shown on the images.

Pommel: ± 39,6 x 45 mm
Total length: ± 19 cm

In good condition, to be handled with care. The surface shows oxidation, encrustation, pitting and signs of wear consistent with age and use. The steel display and wrapped support are modern additions.
