Description: | A complete but worn copper alloy detachable knob probably from an Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, perhaps from the side rather than top of the brooch. The knob has a terminal end that is semi-circular in section with an exterior surface that appears to have triangular faceting. Beneath the terminal the knob is waisted with a slight groove above and below. The attachment end is circular in shape and has a single incised groove that runs circumferentially around the outer face. The underside of the knob is flat and has a slot accross one end. The entire object is pierced by a central circular perforation that would once have held a now missing iron bar. It measures 11.61mm in length, 9.43mm in width/diameter, and weighs 3.37g.
