Ancient Indian Gangetic Copper Culture Harpoon Tips

Item Details

Description

Central Asia, India, Gangetic Basin, Copper Hoard Culture, ca. 1000 BCE. A set of 2 cast-copper harpoons, each with a thick tang and barbed bodies. Copper artifacts like these harpoons, each with elegant proportions and nice craftsmanship, are all we know of this culture. Some scholars have suggested that the copper and sometimes bronze objects associated with it are evidence of a trade route and culture influence from the Ancient Near East, particularly Luristan. These harpoons were likely made for hunting, but a large number of them have also been excavated from temples, such as those found at the Temple of Somesvar Mahadeva in 1891. They may therefore have had a votive function as well as a utilitarian one. Size of largest: 14.375" L x 1.7" W (36.5 cm x 4.3 cm)
