Luristan Bronze Arrowheads china with rich earthen depositsAncient Near East, Luristan (Lorestan), c. 1200800 BC, Northwestern Iran A beautiful and well preserved pair of cast copper alloy arrowheads of classic Luristan type. Each example is leaf shaped in profile, defined by a pronounced raised midrib running the full length of the blade and tapering elegantly to a sharp point. The blades narrow gently from the central body toward the base, demonstrating both refined casting and effective functional design.
