Description: | Knob from an Early Medieval cruciform brooch of Aberg's Group I. The knob has the circular section that characterises Group I brooches. Down its length is a perforation containing traces of the iron pin that secured the spring. Across the flat end of the knob is a square sectioned groove which would have engaged the head plate of the brooch. Around the knob is a deep groove flanked by incised, circumferencial lines, two around the straight section of the knob and one around its rounded end. The knob shows no sign of wear, Its relatively large size suggests that it belongs to a more developed member of the Group. Length 15.0mm, Diameter 9.9mm, Mass 5.27g
