Description
5th-6th century A.D. Lentoid-section broad leaf-shaped blade with thick neck and split socket; Swanton's Group D1. Cf. Swanton, M.J., Spearheads of the Anglo-Saxon Settlements, London, 1973, fig.18(c). Exhibited at Harwich Museum, Harwich, Essex, UK, 14th March-9th June 2024; accompanied by a copy of a photograph of the artefact on display. 215 grams, 24.4 cm (9 5/8 in.).
Found near Wetwang, East Yorkshire, UK. Acquired circa 2005. Ian Wilkinson collection, Nottinghamshire, UK.
The chronological range of the type D1 extends over the entire Pagan period. With the group C1, of which Swanton believed this might simply be a long-socketted variant, the typology did not survive the 7th century A.D. [No Reserve]
