Description: | An early medieval, Anglo-Saxon iron spearhead, dating from AD500-600. It has a hollow circular socket for attachment to the shaft; this then becomes solid and tapers to the base of the slender, leaf-shaped blade. The blade has a slightly raised ridge running down the centre from base to point on one side; the ridge on the other side is not visible, probably because of corrosion. The spear head is 200.2mm long and weighs 170gm.This artefact was recorded from export licence number PAE/0401/08.
