West Asian bronze arrowhead pendant

£60

 

An unusual small bronze arrowhead which has been formed into a pendant in antiquity by bending the shaft into a loop shape. As the arrow point is unsharpened it seems likely that this weapon had never been destined for the battlefield.

West Asia, late 2nd or early 1st Millennium BC
