A pair of Bronze Age bronze arrowheads, both featuring a triangular blade with a prominent central mid-rib and a short stem. Both arrowheads descend into narrow tangs. Patination and earthly encrustations to the surface. Chips to the edges of the blades and shoulders. Warping to the bronze. 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 11.1cm x W 1.7cm; L 11cm x W 2cm Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
