Description: | A cast copper-alloy side knob from an Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, It is half round with semi-circular top, narrow neck and raised collar at the base with transverse grooved decoration. The back face is hollow and there is a vertical circular perforation running through the object for a now missing pin bar. The flat base of the knob has a deeply incised transverse slot for attachment to the side of the headplate. This object measures 14.63mm in height, 12.54mm in width, 8.34mm in thickness, and weighs 4.94g. It finds parallels with numerous examples from Suffolk (for example West, 1998: 133.7) and dates to the 6th century, c.500-600 AD.
