After ruminating over the subject for a while, i couldn't resist showing this thing and ask for opinions.
This iron object may well be a drawer knob. But something tells me it could be a heavy sword pommel. Why ? Its well elaborated shape, the patina ... and its heavy weight; 170 grams ... for a volume of 4,3 cms height and 3,5 cms. width.
Please tell me my imagination is is beyond limits.
