This ornate brass pommel features a ribbed artichoke design and is threaded with an M8 fitting for easy installation. 

This pommel is a fancy example of a globular or spherical pommel, a style that was widely used on swords from the 9th and 10th centuries and that continued to appear on examples well into the 16th century. Its enduring popularity speaks to a design that was both practical and visually appealing.

The detailing of this pommel, either meant to be floral or depicting petals (we think it resembles an artichoke) gives it a more refined appearance, making it particularly well suited to higher-status weapons.

Whether you're building a sword from scratch, restoring a treasured blade, or looking for quality components for your next project, pre-made hilt furniture offers a convenient and cost-effective solution. With a little skill and patience, fitting components like this can be a rewarding part of the sword-making process.

The design is made by hand and in the final product the mould lines have been smoothed down. This means the pattern is not perfect around the pommel but we believe it is still a quality construction and appropriate for use in your DIY swords.
