Ancient Luristan Bronze Mace Head, Early 1st Millennium BC

Item Details

Description

Exquisite bronze mace head originates from Luristan, a region in western Iran known for its rich tradition of metalworking during the early 1st millennium BC. Measuring 13 cm in height and 3 cm in diameter (approximately 5.12x1.18 inches), this heavy mace head is an exemplary artifact of the period. The piece features a symmetrical series of protruding flanges, which would have enhanced its effectiveness as a weapon in battle. The green patina over the bronze is indicative of its age and authenticity, adding character to the piece. Mace heads like this were symbols of power and status and were often buried with their owners as grave goods. This particular item would be a centerpiece in any collection of ancient weapons or Near Eastern antiquities, representing the martial culture and craftsmanship of the Luristan people.
