Title
barbed and tanged arrowhead
Description
English: A possible incomplete cast copper-alloy barbed and tanged arrowhead, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age period (c.1275-1140BC).

The object is comprised half of the arrowhead's body, the tang and one barb.  It has a convex front and a flat reverse, creating a broadly semi-circular profile, which suggests it was cast in a single-piece mould.  The long outer edge is rounded whereas the edge that runs between the tang and the barb is mitred, creating approximately a parallelogram shaped tang and sub-triangular shaped barb.

The arrowhead has extensive deep pitting over both faces but particularly on the reverse.  It is dark grey-green in colour with patches of white and red on both faces.

Broadly similar to: LEIC-13A0FE, ESS-A41D75, WMID-CE6A76, NARC-F9B223.

Dimensions: length: 32.00mm, width: 22.78mm, thickness: 4.18mm, weight: 2.59g.
