Description

A finely modelled Luristan cast bronze double axe head,
A Luristan axe head cast from bronze with bright green patination covering the surface.

At the bottom of the shaft is a flattened thick rim which once would of held a wooden hilt. Some beautiful blue patination is visible to the underneath of the axe
Luristan bronze comes from the province of Lorestan, a region situated in the Zagros Mountains. In ancient times a number of nomadic populations, such as the Medes, the Kassites and eventually the Persians, settled in the area. Due to the nomadic nature of the tribes, none of the Luristan bronzes were of great size, since it was required for them to be light and portable. Their artwork mainly comprises ornaments, vessels and weapons. Most of the Luristan bronze items have been recovered in funerary contexts, suggesting they had a ceremonial function.
Condition: Excellent Condition. Blade is covered in beautiful polychromatic patination.
Date:
Circa 1800-600 BC
