Half of a stone mould for a spearhead, late Bronze Age, 12th – 9th century B.C. Half of a mould carved in rock, in the shape of a trapezoid. A rectangular nub at the bottom in the middle on both sides, which was used to secure the missing other half mould. On the upper side of the mould, showing the incised form for a bronze spearhead, a hole for fixing pins to ensure the exact fit with the non-existent counterpart can be seen above and below the indentation. Tip of the mould broken off. The socket was probably hammered from the casting plug at the end of the lance. Four casting channels on each side of the recess for the spearhead. The inside of the mould blackened by use. Interesting, prehistoric technical tool in good condition. Length 7.5 cm. Provenance: From a private South German collection. Inherited from the consignor's late grandfather, who died 30 years ago. Condition: II
