Object Description
A Luristan cast bronze spearhead blade featuring a leaf-shaped double-edged blade with a raised mid-rib. An elongated shank slightly flares outwards leading into a square-section tail. This ‘rat-tail’ construction which was inserted into a wooden shaft reduced further splitting upon use. Spearheads of this type are more commonly found in the territories around the western Zagros Mountains and were used through the late Bronze Age into the Early Iron Age.
Date: Circa 1800-600 BC
