Description: | Copper alloy spear head. Cast socketed spearhead with a blade of leaf-shaped form with a prominent tapering mid rib which extends to the tip, and - joining, though found separately - one side of a slightly flared tubular socket. The edges, particularly the cutting edges of the blade, are abraded, with a patinated surface disrupted here and elsewhere. The socket fragment displays a perceptible aris between what may be the two halves of the mould, with the surface to one side of it here appearing flat on the outside. The short broad form may suggest this to be from a peghole fastened spear head. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 1800-1600 BC.Length: 112mm, Width: 31.5mm, Thickness (socket wall close to blade): 1.9mm, Weight: 59.26gms
