Description: | A copper-alloy full-round detachable side knob from an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. It has a circular hole through it which would have taken the pin bar, and a rectangular projection on the 'underside' to fix it onto the side of the headplate. This knob is circular in cross- section and measures 18.3mm in length and 8.4mm in width. It is waisted in its centre and has a cylindrical terminal projection. This projection is decorated with three circumferential grooves, two circumferential grooves also decorate the knob either side of its waisted centre, and three more transverse grooves can be seen on the outer face of the rectangular projection from its 'underside.' This knob dates to the late 5th or 6th century.
