Title
Bronze Age pegged spearhead
Description
English: Small copper-alloy pegged spearhead, complete except for very end of tip which has been recently blunted/rounded. Some bare metal is visible here and it seems that the blunting may have happened within the last 100 years (during re-use as a toy?). Also slightly bent towards the tip when viewed from the side. Blade edges appear relatively worn. Original surface is patinated medium/dark green where surviving, but much lost due to slight surface corrosion (and ?agricultural abrasion on one face). Circular hole (diameter 4-5 mm) on either side of socket under blade. Length 71 mm, max width of blade 24 mm, max diameter of socket 22 mm, weight 45.71g. The recent blunting of the tip suggests that the spearhead may have been out of context (due to its re-use) when the tractor picked it up, so original place of loss is even more uncertain.
