Luristan Bronze Mace Head - Rounded Form

Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, northwestern Iran, Luristan, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. An attractive lost wax cast bronze mace head with a circular flared base and lovely curved neck expanding into a bulbous head and incised with a band of arrows near its base with three lines diverging from the band to point toward the head. Despite its substantial weight, the interior is hollow as evident through the holes on the top and bottom. The beautiful blue-green patina adds aesthetic grace to this ancient piece of weaponry. Size: 2.125" Diameter x 3.375" H (5.4 cm x 8.6 cm)

The region of Luristan, which encompasses the rugged Zagros Mountain chain, is famous for its bronze work that was above and beyond the skill level of contemporary groups. The affluent group in Luristan society that patronized the metalworking industry and purchased fine items like this mace head were nomadic horsemen. They would travel into towns and purchase swords and other bronze and iron objects from craftsmen there. They were often buried with these beautiful bronze items and we know of them from tombs.

Provenance: ex Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan USA acquired before 2000

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.
