Description: | A detached copper alloy side knob from an Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, 16.5mm long, 8.9mm wide and 7.2mm thick. The knob can be described as 'half-round', although this example is actually about 3/4 of the full circle. It has a projection on the upper 'rounded' side and a hole underneath running throughout the length of the knob and opening in the terminal end to take the pin that fixed it to the headplate. It is decorated with a deep wide transverse goove at the attachment end, with a much smaller (narrower and shallower) parallel groove towards the terminal end. This smaller groove is only really visible in the flat underside. These half-round knobs usually date to the 6th century, but an example like this which is still more round than flat is probably earlier rather than later in the 6th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
