Ancient Near East, Northwestern Iran, Luristan, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A set of 2 cast-bronze spear butts, each with a spike-shaped body emanating downwards from a stocky socketing shaft. Each weapon was used by swiftly spearing the spike into its target without having to dip the larger blade head down to perform the same life-ending task.

Provenance: private Everett, Massachusetts, USA collection, purchased December 8, 2014 (longer) and April 25, 2020 (shorter); (longer): ex-private Dubai, United Arab Emirates collection; (shorter): ex-private Montrose, California, USA collection
