Ancient Greek / Luristan Bronze Arrowhead Pendant
c. 1st Millennium BC
A powerful and authentic ancient bronze arrowhead, attributed to the Greek / Luristan
cultural sphere, dating to the 1st millennium BC, later adapted into a wearable pendant.
The arrowhead exhibits a classic tri-lobed form with a prominent central blade and
well-defined lateral barbs, tapering to a sharp point. This form is characteristic of ancient
Near Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean projectile points, valued for both their functional
efficiency and symbolic strength.
The surface is covered with a naturally developed green and turquoise patina, with areas
of mineral encrustation consistent with long burial. The piece has been respectfully
mounted with a gold-toned wire suspension, allowing it to be worn while preserving the
integrity and visual impact of the ancient artefact. No invasive restoration has been
undertaken.
Arrowheads of this type were used in warfare and hunting and are now sought after for
their strong symbolic associations with protection, precision, and power.
