Superb Luristan Bronze Horse Bit, Fantastical Creatures

Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, northwestern Iran, Luristan, ca. 1000 to 600 BCE. This is a really interesting piece, a horse bit that has been lost wax cast into the shape of two fantastical, centaur-like beasts with horned anthropomorphic heads along an axis of a narrow bronze cuboid with curled ends. The piece is three parts, displayed intact as it would have been in use on a nice black custom stand. Ancient Luristan, a region of mountains and plains, is renowned for its highly advanced bronzework, much of which was buried as grave goods. Size: 3.5" L x 7.5" W x 5.25" H (8.9 cm x 19 cm x 13.3 cm)
