Spearhead B5425

Complete spearhead. It is broken in two and the break is glued. The leaves are broad; the base is wider at the mouth than where it meets the blade. There are two small rivet holes on either side of the plinth; there is a ring around each hole, which is no more than a vague outline due to corrosion. The base has a round cross-section. The surface is uneven; the patina is golden brown. The spearhead has been reground by the finder on the tip, the top of the base on both sides and on the edges of the blades. Length: 17.2 cm Width: approx. 3.3 cm across the widest section. Photo: Svein Skare
