Description: | Long metal spear, probably iron. The flat head of the spear lies perpendicular to a cylindrical shaft. The shaft is ribbed along its length, with six barbs near the head of the weapon, two directly under the head. There is a circular disc at the bottom third of the shaft, presumably for holding and grip, and the shaft flares to a flat metal piece below this disc.
