The pommel traveled from France, to Italy, to Greece and other parts of the Mediterranean, and then to Egypt. The next known location of the pommel is not until 1928, when Louis Joseph Cartier, a Parisian, purchased the pommel in Damascus, Syria. In 1938 Cartier offered the pommel as a gift to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it has been stored and displayed ever since.
