Ancient Egyptian bronze arrowhead, circa 2nd millennium BC, measuring about 3.7 cm long by 1.8 cm wide, in good condition with earth patination and encrustations, previously part of an Ex London collection.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A fine Egyptian bronze arrowhead featuring a triangular blade. The main body includes a slight midrib, with a central triangular protrusion before the tang, the majority of which is now missing. Both shoulders of the blade display a chip, suggesting the blade could have featured sharp barbs. Earthly encrustations and patination to the surface.
These types of arrowheads, rhombic in form with protruding barbs, have been found across the Southern Mediterranean; from Thebes, to Mycenae and Bologna. Unusual in form, their unique protruding, triangular knob at the base of the blade was ultimately intended to halt the protrusion of the blade, however the inclusion of barbs meant the tool was meant to penetrate. Their form changes over time, with the blade featuring straight edges, although examples still retain their triangular protrusion. Arrowheads with curved blade edges did not continue past 700 BC within Egypt.
Measurements: (circa) L 3.7cm x W 1.8cm
Provenance: Ex London Collection, formed between 1990-present.
