Interesting pommel variation?
Attachment: 81.1 KBMaybe I'm not seeing it properly Rod, but it looks like a fairly plain Brazil Nut pommel to me.
True, but it has markings and a slight shaping like a vestigial trilobate.

I honestly can't tell what it is. It might be a type m.
Not a great drawing, but perhaps Wheeler's type VII ?

Attachment: 20.82 KBIs this a rare pommel type, or is there some particular significance to it? I'm guessing that perhaps the 13th century is rather late for it to be found in art?
I don't know.

I just looks like a fancy Brazil Nut pommel. The 13th century might be on the late side, but it's possible I suppose. We have holdover lobated Viking-style pommels still showing up in areas of Britain at that time, too.
