Ancient Central Asian Bronze Knife Blade

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Central Asia, late 2nd to 1st millennium BCE. A fine example of a cast bronze knife from this region, with one edge curved and sharpened, the other slightly wider. One end has a small, elongated loop for attachment to a larger handle, cast as a single piece with the blade. The production of bronze weapons in this area - which encompasses a huge geographical extent, stretching from the Caspian Sea to Mongolia - began to intensify around 2000 BCE. Knives like this one are found in the graves of warriors alongside axes, arrowheads, and spearpoints. This example has a particularly beautiful blue-green patina. Size: 0.75" W x 7.1" H (1.9 cm x 18 cm)
