Description: | A detached copper-alloy side knob from an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. This knob measures 15mm in length and 9mm in width. It is full round and has a waisted centre before flaring into a flat circular base, which has circumferencial grooves around it. This knob has a projection from one edge of its base, this projection is rectangular in shape and measures 7mm by 5.5mm in size and would have fixed the knob onto the headplate. There is also a central circular hole running longitudinally through the knob, which would have taken the pin bar. It has fragments of a copper-alloy bar within it. This knob, and the missing brooch it is derived from is most likely to date to the fifth century as it is full round in shape. | Subjects: | cruciform Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
