Description: | A complete copper-alloy knop from an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. This knop is solid and full round, measuring 10.5mm in length and 8.7mm in width. There is a circular perforation through the centre of this knop, c2mm in diameter, which would have taken the pin bar originally (although this is no longer present). There is also a straight horizontal slot across the flat attachment face of the knop to one side of the central circular pin bar hole. The knop has a rounded terminal with three circumferencial grooves at its base, it is then waisted and then flares into the attachment end, which is decorated with five circumferencial grooves. Due to the presence of a central hole and slot this knop is most likely to be a side knop for a cruciform brooch. Full round knops such as this example are believd to date to the fifth century. | Subjects: | knop cruciform Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
