Please provide any other information that you can
  "Cross pomel," or "pommelly." A plain cross terminating in four round pomels, e.g. like the knob at the end of swordhilts, or in bourdons, that is, the knobs at the top of the pilgrims' staves. But there is much confusion arising from carelessness is writing the name in different ways. We find "pomy," and very frequently "pometty," and some heralds contend that the latter means something different, i.e. that there are two knobs terminating the arms of the cross; others say that it means a cross with a circular protuberance in the middle of each arm (like the escarbuncle).
  The French term "moussue," "moussé," or "émoussé," appears to mean a cross with the ends simply rounded at the extremities, from an obsolete word equivalent to "blunted," and is given in some heraldic works, but without examples.
