Title
Bronze Age spearhead (fragment)
Description
English: A corroded fragment of a copper-alloy spearhead of middle to late Bronze Age date.

The piece consists of the lower part of the blade, extending to the point. It probably originates from a socketed spearhead of slender form. From a central ridge, the thickness tapers towards the thin edges. The surface of the object has a dark green patina in places but is corroded elsewhere.

The object measures 60.2mm long, 18.9mm wide and 7.3mm thick. The weight is 17.62g.
