Text Appearing Before Image:
. Lastly, No. 5 is thespear head from the tomb of Childeric, the earliest datableexample from the regions with which we are chiefly concerned.This is long and narrow and possesses no median rib. In itspresent condition it measures about 9 in. by i;- in., and may betaken as typical of a simple type that is perpetuated throughthe succeeding periods. Other forms, as is seen on PI. xxxi,are broader and more leaf-shaped, while the elongated lozengeappears as a variant of this. The most distinctive form is thatof the lance head at Maidstone found at Sarre, 2a. This deBaye claims as specially Anglo-Saxon, but it does occur some-times abroad, see Lindenschmit, Handbuch^ p. 173. It mayhowever be regarded provisionally as a south of Englandfashion though the cemetery at Little Wilbraham, Cambs,produced it, PL xxxi, 3. The Darlington spear heads are ofthe more primitive elongated shape. The representations onPL xxxi are approximately to scale. XXXII facing p. 237 THE ANGON, ARROW HEADS, ETC. ■

Some of thespecimens on PL xxxi exhibit it, but when it is more accen-tuated it passes through a singular phase illustrated byan example from Fairford, Gloucestershire, 16 in. long,in the Ashmolean Museum, PI. xxxu, 10. Here one wingof the blade is depressed below the other and the process onthe other side is reversed so that the section is approximatelya zigzag. This is characteristically Anglo-Saxon, althoughit is occasionally found abroad, as at Bessungen by Darmstadt,1and in an example figured by M. Pilloy,2 who gives theprobably correct explanation that it is due to a desire on thepart of the hammerer to give the impression of a pronouncedcentral rib. The older notion was that the arrangementgave a rotary motion to the spear in its flight, but thiswould not be the effect of it, f
