Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Ancient Near East, Palestine, Syro-Palestine, ca. early 1st millennium BCE. Three wonderful cast-bronze weapon blades with three distinct styles. First is a short blade with a perforated butt end, a slightly-raised midrib, and a narrow point. Second is a spade-shaped dagger with a thick handle and wide blade faces. Last is a lengthy spear blade with a thin, perforated tang, flared shoulder points, a planar central ridge, and a gradually-tapering point. Each weapon is covered in lovely green patina, and all are fabulous examples from the earliest days of bronze-smithing! Size (spear blade): 12.125" L (30.8 cm).

Provenance: ex-estate of John Piscopo, San Diego, California, USA. Mr. Piscopo was one of the largest collectors of ancient weapons in the US with a collection that spanned all cultures, all ages.
