Very Large Ancient Near East Luristan Bronze Age Battle Sword - 1000 BC
An ancient Near Eastern Luristan bronze split‘ear’ pommel sword. Dating to around 1000 BC. A formidable Bronze Age sword. The long blade with a broad mid-rib. Tapering to a point, the bifurcated pommel cast onto the hilt, itself separately cast to the blade and joined with a v-shaped section. The distinctive shape of the pommel has hollow sections which would once have contained inlays of bone or wood. The pommel is also adorned with incised decoration. At first glance this impressive sword would appear to be utilitarian weapon. Designed simply for battle. But look closer and you will see that the blacksmith has taken time to inscribe various patterns across the pommel. A care and attention that suggests this was a prized object in antiquity. A fine example of an iconic Near Eastern sword type; it is hard to find a genuine example on the ... moremarket in this condition. Length: 35 inches. Condition: Excellent.

Ancient Near East Bronze Age Terracotta Holy Land Pot - 3150 BC
An ancient Near Eastern Bronze Age terracotta pot. Dating to 3150– 2300 BC. The slightly upturned. Elliptical handles, plump body and short neck with everted mouth give this piece an almost figural quality that is seldom encountered with vessels of the period. The vessel has a flat base and wide body and would have been used for storing water or oil in ancient times. The pleasing effect of the contrast between red and black on the surface is in fact the result of mis-firing in antiquity. Though no doubt the ancient potter would have preferred this piece to be more uniform. To us it seems to enhance the object. Height: 7 7/8 inches. Condition: Good. Minor restoration to part of the lip. Provenance: Ex. British private collection. Acquired 1990’s. Please note: This is a genuine Bronze Age artefact.

Huge Ancient Near East Luristan Bronze Age Battle Sword - 1000 BC
A magnificent example of Bronze Age weaponry: An extremely large. Genuine and powerful ancient Near Eastern bronze sword, dating to around 1000 BC. A formidable weapon. The long blade with a broad mid-rib, tapering to a point, the pommel cast together with the hilt, itself separately cast to the blade. This striking artefact was produced by the expert bronze working society known to us as the Luristans. And would have originally formed part of the burial contents of an elite Persian warrior. These individuals often served as mercenaries in the service of rulers in the lowlands of Mesopotamia. The ancient inhabitants of mountainous Luristan were pastoralists and would have followed an annual cycle of migration between their warm low-lying winter pastures and the high cooler summer grazing grounds. Their production of these remarkable bronze ... moreartefacts for which ancient Luristan society is primarily known took place largely during the winter months. When the low lying valleys were packed with their tented encampments. The Assyrian king Sennacherib's account of a campaign in Luristan territory vividly illustrates how the land would have been full of these temporary settlements during an age redolent with violent conflict: And their settlements which were numberless. I destroyed, I devastated, I turned to ash. The houses of the steppe, namely their tents, wherein they dwelt, I set on fire. A fine example of an iconic Near Eastern sword type; it is hard to find a genuine example on the market in this condition. Length: 33 inches. Condition: Generally good. Blade reattached to hilt as is invariably the case with artefacts of this type, and with associated restoration at the join. Exhibiting a beautiful dark olive patina. Provenance: Ex. British private collection. Acquired 1990's in London. Please note: This is a valuable. Highly collectable ancient weapon.

Ancient Near East Holy Land Bronze Age Terracotta Pottery Jug - 3150 BC
An ancient Near Eastern Bronze Age pottery jug. Dating to 3150– 2300 BC. With its elegant carinated form. Rustic appearance and encrusted surface, this jug appears quintessentially ancient. Potted from a light clay, the body piriform, with a large handle reaching down from the rim to the mid-section. This evocative object dates to a period where the foundations of human civilisation were only just beginning to emerge. A time from the unimaginably distant past. Used for the pouring of water and perhaps wine, the handle fits so naturally into the hand that we can feel a moment of connection with this lost, formative period. It brings the everyday life of real people inhabiting the ancient Near East a little sharper into focus. Height: 8 inches. Condition: Very good. With restoration to section of lip and neck. With encrustations. Provenance: ... moreEx. London art market. Authenticity All items are unconditionally guaranteed to be Authentic as described.
