Ruth Garrido Vila

Large and beautiful Greek bronze blade reminiscent of the Trojan type, blade-shaped, with curved barbs; the central rib extends to the short tang; tang with flattened tip to accept the hilt. From western Asia to mainland Greece, bronze weapon production flourished from the second millennium BC until about 700 BC, when it was gradually replaced by iron. Swords, spears and arrows were exchanged through trade and warfare, and are found in both civic and ritual contexts.

*Nice patina
