Description from the seller
Lot of 2 bracelets with incised decoration (9th-6th centuries BC). Bronze. Diameter: 10 to 11.5 cm. Near East.
The bronzes from this region are one of the most impressive aspects of the Persian Empire. Their craftsmanship and variety, as well as the excellent condition in which they have arrived, have made them one of the archaeological evidences of this culture. The typologies are very varied, including weapons, tools, horse fittings, etc. Since they were a transhumant people, the pieces are not very heavy.
