Title
Anglo-Saxon brooch knob
Description
English:

A cast copper-alloy side knob from an Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. It is fully round with a globular, circular shaped head. Beneath the head is a broad neck with transverse circular collar at the base. The underside of the base is flat and appears to have no evidence of decoration or a transverse groove/slot. Through the centre of the knob is a circular aperture through which a separately cast pin would originally have enabed attachment to the brooch. This object measures 10.09mm in height, 10.60mm in diameter, and weighs 3.19g.

This is a detatchable full-round knob of Anglo-Saxon date similar to other examples from Suffolk (e.g. SF-6B6C66) and probably dates to the 5th century AD, c.410-500 AD.
