Description: | Complete bronze pegged spearhead, one item within a hoard. Socket end decorated with two groups of approximately parallel girth grooves, a pair near the socket, a gap and four more nearer the peg holes. The conical socket is deep and extends to near the tip, which is shortened through ware, use and/or resharpening. The wings are relatively short. Both are slightly bent (use damage?) and one has also been blunted where the very edge has been slightly turned sideways along and parallel to most of the edge (probably by running or clashing with another hard surface). The surface has extensive small corrosive encrustations, which make identification of detail difficult. Patinated dark green with some paler green corrosive products. Some slight recent (agricultural?) abrasions.
