| Decoration | Perforations at the lower end, of which three out of four remain, two on each side, the upper two level to each other, both just below the widest part of the spear. This is presumably where the dagger was attached to a shaft. The width of handle tapers on each end. While the centre of the fragment is thicker, raised on one face, the thickness diminishes towards the sides, which are rounded at the thicker (upper?) end. | ||||||||||||||
