River Tyne, bronze spearhead

A bronze spearhead recovered from the Tyne above the bridge in Newcastle in 1867. Formerly in the possession of R. Blair, it was listed by Canon Greenwell in 1887, and became part of his collection which later passed to the British Museum. The object, 401 mm long, 60 mm max. width, is described as a "Plain pegged spearhead with long, slender, leaf-shaped blade. Peg-holes have been broken off with end of socket. Point bent".
