Description from the seller
A striking Bronze Age bronze arrowhead, now carefully presented as a wearable historical amulet. Measuring approximately 54 mm, the piece has an elegant elongated profile, pronounced lateral shoulders and a strong central ridge running toward the point.
The arrow was one of humanity's essential weapons for both hunting and warfare, and bronze arrowheads demonstrate the increasingly sophisticated metalworking traditions that developed during the Bronze Age. Archaeological studies of European Bronze Age arrowheads show evidence of casting, finishing, sharpening and, on some examples, actual use.
Its narrow symmetrical form gives the object a powerful visual character. Today the arrowhead can evocatively represent strength, direction, determination and the ancient hunter, although these are modern symbolic interpretations rather than a proven original meaning of this particular object.
The surface retains dark green-brown patination and earthy deposits, emphasizing its aged character. A modern silver suspension ring and chain have been added, allowing the ancient object to be worn while keeping the arrowhead itself as the central feature.
Dimensions: approximately 54 mm
Material: Bronze / copper alloy, if confirmed
Object: Arrowhead, subsequently adapted as a pendant
Period: Bronze Age, subject to provenance and typological confirmation
Modern addition: Silver suspension ring and chain
