Ancient Bronze Luristan Prestige Spear Head

Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, Luristan culture, Bronze Age, ca. 2000 to 1500 BCE. This is an exceptionally LARGE shouldered shaft spear head from the Near Eastern Luristan ancient bronze culture. Spear heads of this size and design were the primary stabbing weapons of mounted and infantry soldiers of prestige and noble class. This remarkable specimen features a very beautiful, rich green and olive bronze patina with some mineral encrustation. This is the kind of patina prized by advanced collectors of ancient bronzes also serving as evidence of its authenticity and age. A weapon such as this would have been carried by foot or mounted soldiers and either thrown or used in stabbing attacks on enemy ranks. Ancient Near Eastern bronze spears of this size and design type with the long shaft and shouldered feature are found in much less numbers than the normal tang types or types with sockets. Size: 15.75" L (40 cm)
