Description: | Side knob from an early cruciform brooch. The knob is full-round and made separately from the rest of the brooch; it has a transversely ribbed projection for attachment to the head-plate. The projection extends from the flat ??base?? which is decorated with two grooves around the sides. Above this is a narrowed waist, then a hemispherical top with two grooves around the bottom. The top of the hemisphere is decorated with four broad grooves radiating from the centre, each flanked by a pair of narrower grooves. A hole for the pin bar is drilled from top to bottom; although the bar was presumably made of iron there is no trace of any rust. Well made and, at 18 x 8 mm (including projection), fairly large. Fifth century AD. | Subjects: | cruciform | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
