Luristan Bronze Spearhead, Circa 1000-650 BC, Iran

This remarkable bronze spearhead originates from the ancient Luristan region of western Iran, dating back to approximately 1000-650 BC. It represents the sophisticated craftsmanship and weaponry of the Iron Age tribes that once thrived in the Zagros Mountains. Known for their skillful bronze work, these peoples produced tools, weapons, and ceremonial artifacts that are highly sought after today.

The spearhead measures approximately 19 inches in length, showcasing an elongated blade with a defined central ridge running the length of the piece. Its surface bears a characteristic patina of green and brown hues, evidence of its ancient age and burial conditions. The tang is slender and designed for mounting into a wooden shaft, making it both functional and elegant.

The Luristan spearhead not only served as a weapon of war and hunting but also likely held ceremonial or symbolic significance, given its intricate design and impressive size. This artifact offers a tangible connection to a fascinating ancient culture and provides insight into the metallurgy and martial traditions of early Iron Age societies in the Near East.

This piece is a rare and authentic artifact, a testament to the enduring legacy of Luristan bronze craftsmanship. A magnificent addition for collectors of ancient weapons or enthusiasts of Near Eastern antiquities.
