Saddle Pommel

The object is a curved, decorative metal piece, likely a pommel or fitting for a saddle. It features intricate, scrolling foliate designs that cover the entire surface. The composition is symmetrical and highly detailed, emphasizing curvilinear forms.

The piece appears to be crafted from metal (possibly brass or gilded bronze) and utilizes repoussé or casting techniques to achieve its detailed, openwork design. The surface shows signs of age and patina.
