Description: | A complete copper-alloy side knob from an early Anglo Saxon cruciform brooch. This knob measures 18mm in length and 10mm in width. The knob is semi-circular in cross-section, the front face is convex and the back face flat. The front face is decorated with a central transverse waisting and either side of this there are two transverse grooves. The terminal of this knob has a small rounded knop. On the back face of the knob a longitudinal slot can be seen, both ends of the knob are hollow and an iron bar runs through the slot and emeerges out of both of the ends. This would have allowed the knob to be attached to the head plate of the brooch. | Subjects: | knob Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
