Description: | Bronze Age cast copper alloy rapier blade fragment or spearhead tip. The fragment is sub-triangular, with the two longest edges curving towards the pointed tip. There is a worn, transverse break at the other end of the fragment. Both faces have a central rib running down the length of the blade. There is a very slight groove to each side of the rib, before tapering in thickness to the edges. This gives the blade a shallow lozenge cross section. The fragment is extremely worn on all edges and both faces, which are also pitted. One edge of the blade has a small notch, it is unclear if this notch is intentional or part of post depositional damage. It has a mid to dark green patina, which is lighter in the pitted recesses. The fragment is 50.73mm long, 17.5mm wide and 3.81mm 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: | 1500
