Pair of Ancient Southeast Asian Bronze Items

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $50**

Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Dong Son (Dongson) culture, ca. 500 BCE to 0 CE; Thailand, Ban Chiang, ca. 300 BCE. A great set of ancient bronze items, one a tool and the other a weapon. First is a slender, curved Dong Son axe blade with a bar-shaped attachment handle. The axe was likely used to shape wood or softer materials, rather than for warfare, given the overall form. Second is a lengthy Ban Chiang bronze dart with a thin shaft and a triangular point, designed to be used on the battlefield. A fine study group of ancient Southeast Asian bronzes! Size of largest (dart): 6.375" L (16.2 cm).

Provenance: ex-estate of John Piscopo, San Diego, California, USA, 1990's or earlier. 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.
