The pommel, a key element in various historical artifacts and weapons, holds great significance across different cultures and time periods. In the realm of gymnastics, the pommel horse is an apparatus that challenges athletes with its demanding routines and intricate maneuvers. However, beyond the world of sports lies a rich history intertwined with this unique feature. Asante swords from Ghana showcase beautifully crafted hilts adorned with round pommels featuring eagles and short guards. These swords are not only symbols of power but also reflections of artistic mastery.

Traveling back further in time to Charlemagne's reign brings us Joyeuse sword - an iconic weapon accompanied by a seal bearing his name.

Venturing even deeper into history reveals ancient Chinese artifacts like Eastern Zhou period's Pommel inlaid with Malachite dating back to the 3rd century B.

D. 9 - their designs lost yet still captivating our imagination today. Delving into more recent centuries, we encounter daggers boasting animal-inspired handles such as Deer-Head Pommels from the 18th century or Tiger-Head Pommels from both the 17th and 18th centuries. Each dagger represents not only functional weaponry but also works of art created by anonymous craftsmen whose skills have stood the test of time.
