Western Asiatic/Aegan, ca. 1200-700 BC. A trio of cast bronze spearheads, each a masterpiece of Bronze Age bronze craftsmanship. The triangular-shaped blades of these spears are characterized by a prominent midrib, running down the center to enhance both their strength and beauty. The shoulders of the spears extend downwards, leading to a pronounced shaft and tapering tang for easy attachment to a pole. These small but deadly spearheads would have been wielded by warriors in battle and used by hunters for survival. Their significance extended beyond the battlefield, serving as a display of wealth and social status. These spearheads represent the pinnacle of Bronze Age craftsmanship, showcasing the skill and ingenuity of ancient metalworkers. Cf. Muscarella, O. W. (1988).
