Luristan zoomorphic bronze cloak pin

£145

A bronze cloak pin with an elaborate decorated terminal depicting the heads and fore-parts of a pair of goats with spiral horns, arranged in a janiform position.

North West Iran, Luristan culture, c. 1200 - 800 BC

A modern pin connects the decorated terminal to the body of the pin, and although both sections are ancient and contemporaneous they probably originate from two different but very similar items.

Size: 21.3 x 3.6 cms.
