Title
Knee brooch
Description
English: Early Anglo-Saxon supporting-arm brooch variant with an iron axis bar. Transverse grooves decorate the body of the brooch. The catchplate is missing, as is the pin. Length: 32.29mm, width: 28.96, thickness: 3.99mm, weight: 8.96g.

Supporting-arm brooches were divided into two types by Böhme (1974) which was then summarised in English by Evison (1977). This example fits into Bohme's Typ Mahndorf, with a wider head.

The original version of this record said that there were also transverse lines on "the top which is broken off". It's not clear from the image what was meant by this, but it may be related to the mis-identification of this brooch as a Roman knee brooch.
