Ruth Garrido Vila

Near East. Shield boss with repoussé decoration (9th-6th centuries BC) Diameter 16.20 cm.

Shield boss from antiquity, originating in the Near East and dated to the 9th–6th centuries BCE. Made of bronze, it has a diameter of 16.20 cm. Its distinctive repoussé decoration showcases an elegant design of curvilinear forms, possibly evocative of petals.

The bronzes of Luristan are one of the most impressive facets of the Persian Empire, their mastery and variety, as well as the good condition in which they have arrived, have made them one of the archaeological evidences of this culture. They are called Luristan bronzes because it is there where large quantities have been found, made in the Iron Age, and assimilated safely with the Persian Empire. The typologies are very varied, from weapons, tools, horse fittings, etc. As they were transhumant people, the pieces are not very heavy.
