Età del Bronzo Bronzo Arrowhead Group (3) (Senza Prezzo di Riserva)
A group of three Bronze Age bronze arrowheads. All three arrowheads feature triangular blades with a raised central midrib that leads to a short stem and narrow tang. One of the arrowhead features straight shoulders, another gently upward sloping shoulders, and the last downward sloping shoulders, forming slight barbs. A lovely patina and earthly encrustations to the surface. Signs of wear as consistent with age, such as chips to the edges, scratches, and surface roughness.
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 14-16.1cm x W 2.6-2.7cm
Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
