A fine Bronze Age bronze arrowhead, featuring a triangular blade with a flattened mid-rib which descends into a short stem and tang. The edges of the blade curve slightly inwards towards the tip. The shoulders are downwards-sloping, creating sharp barbs. Patination and earthly encrustations to the surface. Minor chips to the edges of the blade. In ancient times a number of nomadic populations, such as the Medes and the Kassites, settled in the Western Asiatic area. Due to the nomadic nature of the tribes, none of the bronzes were of great size, since it was required for them to be light and portable. Excavated items often included weapons, tools, and finials, as well as small amulets and fittings. Everyday objects are also found including pins and bracelets. Their artwork mainly comprises ornaments, vessels and weapons. Measurements: L 13.4cm x W 3.5cm Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
