Crafted from a copper-based alloy, typically containing tin, this spearhead was likely cast in a mold before being refined through hammering, shaping, and sharpening. Its central ridge provided additional structural strength, while the tapered tang allowed it to be secured to a wooden shaft. The surviving surface exhibits natural oxidation and mineral deposits, including muted green patination and earthy brown discoloration.
