Luristan Bronze Tanged Short Sword
Early 1st millennium B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £130
Comprising a wide triangular blade with raised midrib and a short, pierced tang. 157 grams, 31.5 cm
Ex Abelita family collection, 1980s-2000s.
Edged weapons with tangs are among the simplest forms of weapons from this culture. This basic type was hardly altered in the period when bronze was the most important material in weapon production. The retention of this basic type with so few alterations makes precise dating challenging. Bronze daggers, dirks and swords exist today only as bronze blades, having lost their perishable handles over the course of time. -
