Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy side-looped spearhead of Middle Bronze Age date. Only the butt end and the two side loops survive intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. It is cylindrical in form, tapering towards the now missing blade end. To either side are integrally cast loops that are pointed oval in form and flattened against the side of the spear perhaps as a result of post-depositional damage. The entire object has a worn dark green patina and measures 42.67mm in length, 17.60mm in diameter at socket and 23.66g in weight (with soil remaining in socket). This is an incomplete side-looped spearhead of Middle Bronze Age date, c.1500-1150 BC.
