Description: | The object is possibly the tip of a spear head. It is made from cast copper alloy, and is a sub-triangular shape in plan. The tip is blunt, the lower edge is broken, but not recently. In section the object is a pointed oval shape.
The dimensions are 29.8mm long, 10.1mm wide and 3.1mm thick.
The surface is heavily pitted, and has traces of a heavy dark brown patina. It is this patina and pitting which perhaps suggests its prehistoric date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -1500
