A fine pair of Bronze Age bronze arrowheads of contrasting sizes but both featuring a triangular blade with square shoulders and a prominent mid-rib, which descends into a short cylindrical stem and a narrow tang. Patination and earthly encrustations to the surface. Minor chips to the edges of the blades. 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. Measurements: L 12cm x W 2.1cm; L 10.5cm x W 1.9cm Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
