A pair of Bronze Age bronze arrowheads, both featuring a triangular blade with a curving edge, raised central midrib, cylindrical stems, and long narrow tangs. One arrowhead displays sharp barbs, whilst the other presents slightly downward-sloping shoulders. Patination and earthly encrustations to the surface. Signs of wear as consistent with age, such as chipping, especially to the edges, scratches, and flaking. 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 16cm x W 3.2cm; L 15.5cm x W 3.1cm Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
