The blade has a pronounced mid-rib, c 8mm across at its wider end/ break and narrowing to 4.14mm in diameter at the point. It is slightly oval in profile. The sides of the blade are c 3.60mm at the break, thus the blade is c 13.50mm in width overall at that point but the edges are abraded.


The patina is green in colour. The fragment measures 43.42mm in length. It weighs 10.92g.
