Description: | Late Bronze Age bronze spearhead, flame-bladed type, of Greenwell & Brewis type V. The edges of the blade are quite jagged, but otherwise the patina is smooth and shiny and brown.The socket (diameter 20mm, internal 16mm) is decorated with a series of vertical nicks, which are visible with socket end facing. Above this are four crude incised lines - rather wiggly and in one place one line vears off as though the designer has made a mistake. Directly above these is a ring of vvvvvvvv. Then two more groups of five incised lines, the top-most of which runs through the peg holes, 11.5mm from the socket end.The spearhead is 92.5mm long and the maximum blade width is 24mm. The edges are bevelled and the tip (now worn) has the classic bullet-shape for this type. Weighs 28.04g.8th/ 9th century BC.
