Objectcode
EA/117/6
Description (brief)
Spear, probably made for ceremonial purposes. In the middle of the shaft the spear widens in a paddle-like shape with repetitive ajour-cut motives. The motives are mirrored along the axis of the spear. Part of the paddle-shaped decoration is missing. The blad of the spear has a point with one barb. It is likely that the blade had a second - similarly shaped - but this part is missing.
