Description
Ca. 1200-700 BC. A pair of arrowheads crafted with utmost precision and elegance. Each arrowhead features a beautifully shaped blade with a thick midrib, pointed shoulders, and sharp points that are designed for maximum efficiency and accuracy. The blades are crafted from high-quality bronze, for its exceptional durability and sharpness, and they exhibit a lustrous patina that speaks to their age and rarity. At the base of each arrowhead lies a tang, crafted for easy insertion into a wooden shaft. These arrowheads were likely used for hunting and warfare, and their design allowed them to pierce through armor and penetrate deep into their targets. These arrowheads would have been used in a variety of contexts, ranging from tribal conflicts to hunting expeditions, and their significance is immense, both from a historical and cultural perspective.
