Description: | Middle Bronze Age side-looped and socketed spear dating to c.1500-1150 BC.
The spear is almost complete and has been cast in one. The blade is leaf shaped with a raised central mid-rib which runs down to the socket. The tip of the blade is missing and has been bent slightly. The socket is hollow and circular in cross-section with a diameter of 18mm. The two side loops are lozengiform in plan and almost flat in cross-section. The end of the socket has been broken slightly and is uneven. Below one of the side loops is a small perforation which runs all the way down to the end of the socket.
The patina is uneven on the spear. The blade has patches of black and there are parts all over the spear where the original surface has gone. | Subjects: | Socketed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
