Cast copper alloy miniature socketed spear.The spear has an incomplete leaf-shaped blade and a socketed shaft formed by rolling over the sheet copper alloy. The blade has a damaged perimeter and is missing its tip.One face of the blade is very worn and pitted, and appears to read VIII, however this is seems more likely to be corrosion and damage rather than an inscription.
