Bronze.
Damaged hilt; the tip has been restored.
Provenance: Jesús Vico Gallery, Spain, 2017; Exhibited: Museo Colección Ifergan, Málaga (2018-2020).

The weapon we are now bidding for is a cast bronze sword that belongs to the objects known as "Luristan bronzes". The typologies are very varied, ranging from weapons, tools and horse accessories. Most of the bronze pieces were made as funerary objects, as bronze was part of the burial rituals. Bronze symbolised a person's desire for immortality and its importance is confirmed by the thousands of objects found in tombs and shrines.
