Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy side or top knob from an Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. It is fully round with a globular, oval shaped head. Beneath the head is a broad neck with transverse circular collar at the base. The underside of the base is incomplete due to old breaks and it remains uncertain whether the knob was integrally cast or separately cast from the headplate. This object measures 10.62mm in height, 8.33mm in width, 7.40mm in thickness, and weighs 1.51g. It finds parallels with examples from Suffolk (for example West, 1998: nos. 17.1, 19.2) and probably dates to the 5th century, c.410-500 AD
