Luristan Bronze Spear - 51.5 cm

Western Asiatic/Aegan, ca. 1200-700 BC. Crafted from bronze, this spearhead possesses a slender blade that exudes a graceful tapering profile. A distinguishing feature of this weapon is the thick midrib that runs along the length of the blade, seamlessly integrating with the shank. The shank itself showcases an intricately twisted effect, adding a touch of visual intrigue to the spearhead. Its rectangular-section tang bends at the end and culminates in a small circular pommel, demonstrating the attention to detail in its design. This bronze spearhead stands as a testament to the ancient craftsmanship of the Western Asiatic region, embodying both functional utility and artistic expression.
