Peter Reynaers

A pair of Bronze Age bronze arrowheads, both featuring a prominent central midrib. One arrowhead displays a triangular blade with a very short stem leading to a flat, narrow tang, whilst the other presents a triangular blade with pointed barbs and a longer, flat tang. A lovely patina and earthly encrustations to the surface. Signs of wear as consistent with age, such as chipping, especially to the edges, scratches, and flaking. Chips to the edges of the blades. 

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. Archaeological evidence suggests that the bronze objects often serve ceremonial functions given their funerary contexts.

Measurements: (circa) L 10.7cm x W 2.2cm; L 10.3cm x W 2.3cm

Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
