8th century BC-1st century AD. A Late Bronze Age or Iron Age copper-alloy pommel cast in one piece comprising a swollen body tapering towards the pointed terminals; the centre of the body with a circumferential recess which appears to have been made by gouging into the metal, presumably while still malleable; decorated with alternating ridges and grooves, running slightly diagonally in the line of the shape of the artefact, to either side of the central recess. 23.6 grams, 24mm (1"). Found by Mr Geoffrey Rippon whilst searching with a metal detector in Lincolnshire, UK, in 2019. This type of pommel is called a 'moustache pommel', so named because of its shape, a sort of comedic, droopy moustache. [No Reserve]
