Only example I have some across so far is from The Meads: evidence of grass/straw on the surface of a spearhead: https://anglosaxoncsi.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/spearhead/ …

@caitlinrgreen am surprised I can't find many other examples actually as it appears in at least two of the graves I am studying. . .1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
