Description

A long bronze spearhead stands upright, its leaf-shaped blade tapering to a point with a raised central ridge running down it. A narrower socket continues below the blade almost to the bottom edge of the frame, and the metal surface is rough, pitted and corroded. The object is photographed against a pale background on a card mount, with a handwritten label along the lower edge.
