Peter Reynaers

A finely modelled Ancient Greek sword blade, circa 1000-700 BC, made from cast bronze comprising of a long, pointed blade with a prominent mid-rib. At the butt-end of the sword, the blade widens to form three distinct points, with the external two curing slightly outwards. The wooden pommel and hilt presumably would have fit onto the blade through the central point. The blade is covered with a beautiful green patination. Some damage to edge of blade - see photos for reference. 

Measurements: circa 37.6cm length

Private collector: Ex Japanese collection 1970-2010.
