LURISTAN BRONZE TANGED LANCEHEAD

拍品描述

800-600 B.C. With a tapering rectangular-section blade and a short tang. Cf. Mahboubian, H., Art of the Ancient Iran, London, 1997, no.398a, for a similar spearhead, although socketed. 239 grams, 31 cm (12 1/4 in.). Ex Abelita family collection, 1980s-2000s. These shoulderless spearheads are introducing the Luristan and Hamadan in the Median and Achaemenid Periods. The bronze type was cast in a mould, and the length suggests it was a throwing weapon or used in conjunction with a chariot.
