Description: | A complete but worn copper alloy detachable knob from an Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, probably from the side rather than the top of the brooch. The knob is semi-cylindrical in shape with a rounded front face and concave/hollow back face. It has a terminal end that is semi-circular in plan with a worn exterior surface that may have some slight faceting and a flattened top edge. Beneath the terminal is a deeply incised sub-rectangular groove or waist. The attachment end is rectangular in plan and semi-circular in section with a flattened underside that has an incised slot near to the front face. The back face of the object is flattened and concave/hollow, with two small circular perforations visible at the top of the terminal end and the back of the attachment end that would have once held a now missing iron bar to allow for attachment to the brooch. The knob measures 13.66mm in height, 11.91mm in width, 7.29mm in thickness, and weighs 4.01g. This is a knob from an Early Medieval/Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch and is of probable 6th century AD date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
