Description
Dong Son, modern day Vietnam, 500 to 200 BCE. This is a long bronze lancehead with a socketed end. The casting technique for Dong Son bronzes was demanding artistically and technically, and it seems likely based on archaeological investigation that they were made by local workshops staffed by specialists. These specialists shared knowledge throughout their geographic region, and socketed axes like this one are constructed similarly to those from the Warring States period in China. Size: 15.8" L x 1.1" W (40.1 cm x 2.8 cm).
Provenance: Ex-Estate of John Piscopo. Mr. Piscopo was one of the largest collectors of ancient weapons in the US with a collection that spanned all cultures, all ages.
