Item Details
Description
Western Asiatic/Aegan, ca. 1200-700 BC. A bronze spearhead, crafted with skill and purpose. Its triangular-shaped blade boasts a prominent midrib, providing additional strength and stability to the weapon. The shoulders flare outwards, allowing for a wider penetration upon impact. The pronounced shaft and long tapering tang are designed for easy attachment to a pole, transforming this spearhead into a deadly weapon. During the Bronze Age, spears were an indispensable tool for hunting and warfare. These small spears, like the one here, were utilized for close-range combat and could be thrown or thrust with precision. The design of the spearhead allowed for a swift and powerful strike, capable of piercing armor and delivering a fatal blow. Cf. Muscarella, O. W. (1988).

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, p.291.Size: L:140mm / W:25mm ; 35gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
