Description: | Iron age copper alloy arrowhead, 34mm long and 7mm wide. The object is in fair condition with a powdery green patina and weighs 2.67 grams. The object consists of a circular sectioned tapering shaft (5mm internal diam) which has three tapering wings, C.25mm long and 3mm at their widest. Directly below the wings are the remains of a circular sectioned loop, 7mm long and 3mm wide. This has snapped off along the same alignment as the shaft, suggesting it was damaged during use. There are no parallels for this object in Britain and it was probably brought back from the Near East or Eastern Europe in the last few hundred years (pers comm. Dr J D Hill). | Subjects: | eastern European iron age | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
