Item Details
Description
5th-7th century A.D. Lentoid-section leaf-shaped blade with slender neck and long closed socket; Swanton's Group D1. Cf. Swanton, M.J. Spearheads of the Anglo-Saxon Settlements, London, 1973, fig.18(d). 190 grams, 26 cm (10 1/4 in.).

Found near Wetwang, East Yorkshire, UK. Acquired circa 2005. Ian Wilkinson collection, Nottinghamshire, UK.

A small number of leaf-shaped blades measuring between some 16 and 28 cm in length are similar to the smaller leaf-shaped pieces of the Swanton series C, except that they tend to be more slender overall. The socket is always narrowly split up its entire length. [No Reserve]
