Description

Ca. 525-330 BC.
A group of five bronze arrowheads represents an intriguing assemblage of projectile points. These arrowheads showcase a distinctive trilobate and bilobate shape, characterized by three and two lobes respectively, which contribute to their aerodynamic efficiency and lethal potential. Crafted from bronze, a highly valued material during the Bronze Age, these arrowheads exhibit remarkable craftsmanship and metallurgical knowledge. Each arrowhead features a rounded socket that facilitated its attachment to an arrow shaft, allowing for swift and accurate release. The blades of these arrowheads taper gracefully to culminate in sharp points, enabling piercing penetration and maximizing their efficacy as hunting and warfare tools.
Size: L:28-45mm / W:45214mm ; 25g
Provenance: Private London collection; formerly acquired in the US in the 1990s.
