Object Description
A fine Luristan bronze, socketed spearhead featuring linear engravings. The blade displays a long, triangular shape with rounded shoulders and a pronounced central midrib. On either side of the central rib, there are three incised, vertical fullers which narrow into one. The stem of the spearhead follows from the midrib into a rounded socket with a perforation near the base for attachment. The socket is enriched with a design of vertical incisions with horizontal bands featuring at the base. The blade displays an attractive sea-green patination.
NB: The stand is for reference only and does not accompany the spearhead.
