Edad del Bronce Bronce Arrowhead Group (3) (Sin precio de reserva)
A group of three Bronze Age bronze arrowheads, all featuring a triangular blade with a raised central midrib, short stem and a narrow tang. Two arrowheads display a more prominent midrib, whilst the remaining one presents a flatter profile and sharp barbs. Patination and earthly encrustations to the surface. Minor chips to the edges of the blades. The barbed arrowhead is slightly bent in places and displays a hairline crack on one of the barbs and a slight chip on the other.
In ancient times a number of nomadic populations, such as the Medes and the Kassites, settled in the Western Asiatic area. Due to the nomadic nature of the tribes, none of the bronzes were of great size, since it was required for them to be light and portable. Excavated items often included weapons, tools, and finials, as well as small amulets and fittings. Everyday objects are also found including pins and bracelets. Their artwork mainly comprises ornaments, vessels and weapons. Archaeological evidence suggests that the bronze objects often serve ceremonial functions given their funerary contexts.
Measurements: (circa) L 8.4-9.1cm x W 2-2.1cm
Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
