Description: | Two joining fragments, copper-alloy Late Bronze Age spearhead. The short socket is crushed and part of one blade is intact. The blade edges are mostly corrosion chipped but present over small areas suggesting that the blade wings were not originally very wide. There are circular rivet holes on each side. There are two faintly incised lines close to the base of the socket, with two closely-set oblique incised lines above the upper line and one line below the lower line. There are scratches and small dents on both sides. A large area of copper corrosion is present on one side wing. Dark gold with patches of dark green patina. The spearhead is 56.8mm long, the width of the crushed socket is 28.8mm, the width of the side wing (where the blade edge is intact) is 5.55mm and it weighs 27.95g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
