Early Iron Age iron spearhead
Cafodd y pen picell yma ei creu tua 2,700 o flynyddoedd yn ôl ar ddechrau Oes yr Haearn. Cafodd ei canfod mewn mawn ar waelod Llyn Fawr, ger Hirwaun, yn y Cymoedd. Roedd y gwneuthurwr yn dal i arbrofi gyda’r dechnoleg newydd. Mae wedi morthwylio’r haearn er mwyn gwneud iddo edrych fel gwrthrychau efydd.
Leaf-shaped spearhead with a split socket, damaged at the mouth. The socket penetrates only to the base of the lozenge-sectioned blade. The blade has a weak mid-rib.
This spearhead was made about 2,700 years ago, at the very beginning of the Iron Age. It was found in peat at the bottom of Llyn Fawr, a lake near Hirwaun, south Wales. The maker was still experimenting with the new technology. He laboriously hammered the iron to make the object look as if it had been cast in bronze.
