Description

**First Time At Auction**

Vietnam, Dong Son culture, ca. 500 BCE to 0 CE. A nice pair of bronze weapons, a bronze spearhead of excellent form, and a heavy socketed bronze axe head. 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 the one here are constructed similarly to those from the Warring States period in China. Size of largest: 6.4" L x 2.5" H (16.3 cm x 6.4 cm)

Provenance: ex etate 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.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

We ship worldwide to most countries and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.
