Ancient Greek / Luristan Bronze Arrowheads / Spearhead c. 1st Millennium BC A substantial and well-preserved ancient bronze arrowhead or light spearhead, attributed to the Greek / Luristan cultural sphere, dating to the 1st millennium BC. The piece features an elongated leaf-shaped blade with a strong, clearly defined central midrib, tapering to a sharp point. The lower section retains an intact elongated tang, originally used for securing the head to a wooden shaft. The proportions and craftsmanship are characteristic of ancient Near Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean projectile weapons, suitable for both warfare and hunting. The surface is covered with a naturally developed green patina, with areas of darker mineralisation and light encrustation consistent with long-term burial. No modern cleaning or restoration has been carried out; the piece remains in an honest, archaeologically intact condition. Large examples of this type are increasingly scarce and are highly regarded for their historical presence and elegant simplicity.
