Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $800**

Ancient Near East, northwestern Iran, Luristan, ca. 1000 to 600 BCE. A cast-bronze short sword of a slender form with a narrow blade bearing a thick midrib as well as an integral tubular handle topped with forked prongs. Visible remains of the original blade edge illustrate how the sharpened edge coursed around the peripheries of the body and created an efficient instrument of war. Thick, mottled layers of orange, brown, and green patina cover all surfaces of this wonderful weapon. Size: 19.625" L x 3.3" W (49.8 cm x 8.4 cm)

Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired between 2000 and 2001; ex-Priceless Past, Cumming, Georgia, USA
