SOLD

Late Norman - Early Medieval period. c.12th/13th Century A.D. A small but interesting chip carved bronze dagger pommel (possibly from a Dirk, a small slender dagger) in the form of a somewhat stylised Hounds head with open mouth. Found in North Yorkshire many years back and from an old Scottish collection. Hollowed through centre for tang of dagger and small hole in mouth for "peening" - i.e. flattening the end of the tang to fix it tight to handle. Totally intact with good surfaces and in very nice condition with a pleasant dark surface patina, a pleasant example of the type, 17mm long x 13mm high x 9mm thick
