Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE

The general form is feather shaped, with a long tang leading into a body that is lozenge shaped in cross section. This tapers slowly to a now rounded tip. The former blade edges are uneven and corroded. The entire surface is moderately friable; several flakes of verdigris detached …
