Description: | The object appears to be the tip of a Bronze Age spear head. It has been made from cast copper alloy. In plan it is an elongated triangular shape, with a blunt tip. In profile it has a lozenge shaped section with two of the opposite corners being rounded. The break is not recent. Where the spear head is broken there is a slight concave area, which is where the socket of the spear presumably terminated. The object has a well developed mid green patina. It weighs 7.19g, and measures 29.6mm long, 14.6mm wide and 7mm thick.
