Description: | An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Early-Medieval date. The fragment is from either a Cruciform or a Small-long type brooch. Only one knop remains which comprises a D-shaped, hollow semi-circular terminal with narrowed waist extending from the flat edge. The waist then expands in to a moulded transverse band with a double incised groove along its upper edge. An iron shaft projects from the lower end of the band and can also be seen to the reverse of the knop extending into the hollowed section. This likely acted as a rivet by which the knop was fitted to the brooch proper.The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The brooch knop is 17mm long, 14.9mm wide, 5.6mm thick and weighs 4.5g.Similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database including LIN-CFA006, LEIC-047BAC and NMS-4F688D.
