Description

**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Near East, Luristan, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A trio of well-aged bronze armaments in three unique weapon typologies. First is a socketed axe head with a flat butt end, a circular socket hole with a flared bottom, and an elongated conical blade. Second is a thin spear point with a folded hafting end and a triangular blade profile which gradually tapers to a point. Last is a lengthy sword with a short handle, a semicircular pommel with raised ribs, a crescent-shaped guard, a raised midrib on both obverse and reverse, and an elongated triangular blade. Each weapon variant is covered in thick layers of pale and verdant green patina, however the original russet-hued bronze is still visible in some areas. Lucite riser and block for display purposes only. Size of largest: 11.5" L (29.2 cm).
