Bronze spearhead found in the Dean Water, Angus

This bronze spearhead was found in the Dean Water in Angus. It was probably made in Ireland between 1500 and 1300 BC.

The spearhead is decorated with lines and punched dots.

The long-standing links between Ireland and Scotland brought many Irish objects and ideas to Scotland, including this decorated spearhead.
