Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Near East, Luristan or other cultural area around the Caspian Sea, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A huge leaf-shaped, round-shouldered bronze spear point, cast in a single piece. A prominent midrib extends into a long shank. The tang ends in a bent, button terminal. Size: 12.1" L x 2.3" W (30.7 cm x 5.8 cm)

Blades of this kind with the shank separating the blade from the tang occur in the Gurgan region of northeastern Iran, particularly associated with Tepe Hissar, Tureng Tepe, and Marlik. All three are important sites in Iranian archaeology. Tepe Hissar and Turang Tepe were a urban centers that had architectural and trade connections with similar cultures in Afghanistan and Seistan in southeastern Iran, demonstrating a wide geographic area of influence. Marlik is a mound that contained fifty-three rich tombs. Within these tombs, researchers found a large number of bronze spearheads, which they have theorized were very popular weapons for Marlik's warriors, who lived in a forested, mountainous region. This particular weapon does not bear marks of having been repeatedly sharpened for use, as some from the area do, so it was probably made specifically to accompany a warrior in death.
