Miniature spearhead

Bronze miniature representing a spearhead. The blade is flat and thin, the tang is square. Miniatures were often used as amulets and represented an attribute of the gods. It is possible that Gungnir, the spear of Odin, was the model for this miniature. Stray find "under a stone" at Jättened by, Gudhem Parish, Västergötland.
