Description: | A complete copper-alloy top or side knob from a brooch of Roman or Early-Medieval date. Only the knob survives, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.Consisting of a sub-rectangular head with rounded corners. Beneath the head transverse groove collar which connects to an integral flat, circular base. Through the centre of the knob is a circular pin hole.This knob measures 21.40mm in length, 14.75mm in width, 12.86mm in thickness, 18.13g in weight.It is most likely to be from a Roman crossbow brooch, rather than a cruciform brooch of Early-Medieval date. However, there is a similar knob, thought to be of Early-Medieval date recorded on the PAS database (SF-4FD003).
