青铜器时代 黄铜色 Barbed Arrowhead Group (3) (没有保留价)
A group of three Bronze Age bronze arrowheads, all featuring a triangular blade with a raised central midrib. All three arrowheads present with sharp, downward angled barbs, though some have been chipped. Beneath, a short cylindrical stem leads to a narrow tang. Patination and earthly encrustations to the surface. Signs of wear as consistent with age, such as chipping to the edges, scratches, and surface roughness. Some of the barbs have been chipped, with one now missing.
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 10.1-11cm x W 2-2.2cm
Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
