Item Details

Description

Central Asia, Marlik (Luristan), Caspian Sea region, ca. 1200 to 1000 BCE. This is a heavy leaf-shaped bronze spearhead with a large rounded central ridge, a long rectangular insertion tang, and a flared section between two areas. Bronze Age Luristan art was the work of nomadic herdsmen and horsemen who crafted small, portable objects, including daggers, swords, and other weapons. Weapons like these would almost certainly have been entombed in the small rock graves in which their owners were buried. Size: 18.25" L x 1.75" W (46.4 cm x 4.4 cm).

Provenance: Ex-Estate of John Piscopo. 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.
