If requested prior to dispatch, a Cultural and Iconographic Assessment Certificate will be prepared as a physical hard copy and included with the shipment. Every shipment is fully insured.

Description
This remarkable iron projectile point displays a broad triangular blade, gradually converging towards an acute tip, complemented by a long, slender attachment tang. Its clearly articulated shoulders and forged construction exemplify the practical engineering associated with early iron weaponry.

The blade preserves an imposing reddish-brown oxidation layer, with extensive mineral deposits and irregular surface textures characteristic of corroded archaeological iron. Despite these alterations, its distinctive silhouette, pointed extremity and elongated tang remain clearly recognisable.

Comparable tanged iron projectile points are documented in archaeological museum collections, including an example held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Such objects illustrate the development of forged weapon technology and the importance of projectile weapons in historical warfare and hunting.

A compelling collector's piece, distinguished by its broad blade, substantial proportions and evocative archaeological appearance.

Information
The presentation and sale of this object are conducted in accordance with principles of transparency, scholarly consistency, and good faith, and no object is knowingly presented as a copy or imitation.

The object has been documented using high-resolution imaging equipment, with its physical structure and form left entirely unaltered; only limited color-balance adjustments have been applied to ensure visual accuracy. As high-resolution imagery may influence the perception of scale, the photographs should always be considered together with the stated measurements.

All statements concerning dating, intended function, symbolic or iconographic interpretation, and material identification represent high-probability academic assessments based on typological analysis, comparative examples from museum collections, and expert opinion; definitive verification would require advanced laboratory analysis beyond the scope of the sales process.

Upon request prior to shipment, a signed ownership document issued in the buyer’s name may also be provided. If requested prior to dispatch, the Cultural and Iconographic Assessment Certificate will be prepared as a physical hard copy and included with the shipment.
