Description: | A Bronze Age object, possibly either a spearhead fragment or a fragment from a sword or rapier blade. The object was found as a single find.
The fragment is roughly rectangular in shape, with one straight edge of the blade partly surviving. The opposite side of the object has been badly broken and damaged; exposing the hollow midrib. The break appears to be irregular.
The breaks across the blade both appear to have been snapped diagonally. The breaks are parallel to each other.
The object survives in a fine condition and much of the original surface survives. Numerous striation lines can be seen on the surface of the metal. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
