A Bronze Age Spearhead with Verdigris Patina, circa 1200 B.C.

Item Details

Description

This bronze spearhead, adorned with a naturally aged verdigris patina, dates back to the late Bronze Age, circa 1200 B.C. Its classic leaf-shaped blade and prominent midrib indicate it was likely used by warriors of high status in ceremonies or possibly in battle. The patina suggests a history buried within the earth, only to be unearthed after millennia. Such items were not only weapons but also symbols of power and prestige. The craftsmanship reveals the sophistication of metalworking skills at the time, with the functionality and form suggesting a culture that valued both aesthetics and warfare.

Dimensions:
Length: 7.5 cm (2.95 inches)

Provenance:
Discovered in the late 19th century by A. Kostas, an amateur archaeologist, in the Peloponnese.
Passed through various private collections throughout Europe before being acquired by a private collector in Vienna, 1967.

Bronze Age, Spearhead, Verdigris, Antiquity, Warrior, Ceremonial Weapon, Leaf-shaped Blade, Midrib, Metalworking, Ancient Weaponry, Archaeology, European History, Collectible, Militaria, Aged Patina, Prehistoric Artifacts, Bronze Metallurgy, Cultural Artifact, Warrior Status, Battle Relic.
