Description: | A cast bronze spearhead of the Bronze Age.
The spearhead is largely complete, though the socket is missing and there is no trace of basal loops, though these would be expected.
The blade is leaf-shaped with a central barrel ridge (circular in section) that begins with the socket and tapers to the tip. The edges are largely intact, though somewhat nicked. The bevel of the edge being 3mm from the edge.
The bronze is good quality with an even green patina.
It is 155.09mm in length, 45.35mm in width at the blade shoulders, 15.06mm thick in the ridge, 1.36mm thick edge at the tip, with a socket diameter 19.02mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
