Western Asiatic Bronze Socketted Spearhead
9th-7th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £169
Leaf-shaped blade with raised midrib and a tapering round socket. 128 grams, 27.2 cm
Ex Abelita family collection, 1980s-2000s.
The spear, belonging to type 3 of the Khorasani classification, was used by chariot fighters to strike each other or the enemy infantry from above. Similar specimens with longer sockets were excavated by Negahban in the Amlash area. According to Moorey, sockets as long, if not longer than the blade, are a characteristic of spearheads in the late 2nd and early 1st millennium B.C. A similar spearhead from the Tappeh Sialk has been dated to the 9th-7th century B.C. -
