A half-round separately made copper-alloy side knob from an Early Anglo Saxon cruciform brooch. It has a broad collar at the base, a narrow waist and a semi-circular head. The knob has an iron pin bar through it, which would have passed through the central pin bar lug and the opposite knob; this would have served to attach the pin and the knobs to the brooch. There is a slot in the base of the knob into which the side of the brooch headplate would have fitted.
