Description: | A cast copper-alloy side knob from an Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, It is half round with a semi-circular globular top that has a transverse groove at its base and projecting oval shaped knop at the top. Beneath the top is narrow neck followed by a raised collar at the base, which is decorated with a transverse groove. 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 16.75mm in height, 11.92mm in width, 8.68mm in thickness, and weighs 6.81g. It finds parallels with examples from Suffolk (for example West, 1998: nos. 46.13, 47.15) and dates to the 6th century, c.500-600 AD
