WESTERN ASIATIC LONG BRONZE SPEARHEAD
Ca. 1000 - 800 BC A Western Asiatic bronze spear. The spear had a petaloid blade which connects to a twisted section at the base of the spead. The tapered tang on the end of the blade allows it to be attached to a long wooden pole. These spearheads are distinguished by their intricate design and craftsmanship, typically being crafted from bronze and often featuring elaborate decorations such as animal motifs and geometric patterns. Such characteristics are indicative of the advanced metalworking skills of the Western Asiatic cultures. Size: 520mm x 40mm; Weight: 625g Provenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
