Large bronze fish hook

Large bronze fish hook with barbed point. The other end has a splayed terminal, to aid in securing the hook to the fishing line. It was found in a 6th century rubbish heap.   A hook this large was probably for sea fishing, for large fish such as cod or tope, or possibly for conger eels.
