Title
Bronze Age socketed spearhead
Description
English: A small cast socketed spearhead, dating probably from the Middle Bronze Age, c. 1600-1400 BC.

The object has a broken blade with an indented quadrilateral cross-section. There is a prominent longitudinal mid-rib on both sides and abraded cutting edges. The roughly circular socket of 7.31 m diameter is not preserved. Most of the original surface is corroded and lost but traces of a brown patina are preserved on both sides. The rest of the object has a green-grey patina.

The blade measures 46.90 mm in length and is 20.55 mm wide at its widest point. The thickness of the wings is 2.82 mm and of the rib is 11.49 mm and the object weighs 17.39 g.
