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. | 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: | -1150
