Description: | Early medieval incomplete tanged iron arrowhead. The blade is leaf shaped in profile and diamond shaped in section, it has a long shoulder section which is circular in section becoming diamond shaped towards the tang. This is short and narrow tappering to a blunt point, square in section. The object is similar to many later early medieval arrowheads in design (Jessop 1997. Fig.4.) but relatively large for an arrowhead perhaps suggesting a small javelin point. The whole object is quite corroded and is beginning to delaminate and crack. it is dark brown in colour and made from wrought iron.Length: 124.24mmWidth of Blade: 18.06mmWidth of Tang: 3.24mmThickness of Blade: 5.4mmWeight: 19.88gRef: Jessop, O. 1997 Medieval Arrowheads Datasheet 22.
