An Exceptional Luristan Bronze Short Sword
Northern Iran, Ca 1200 to 1000 BC. Short sword of exceptional quality, with deep recessed grips, once holding wood or ivory inlays, and long sharp blade with central blood-ridge. Once gleaming golden color, now with fabulous areas of crystallized malachite blue patina. Custom, museum-grade stand. Custom stand. Blade itself measures 17"L. Intact save small missing section of upper grip on reverse. One of the finest short swords we have ever seen!

Provenance: Ex-private Santa Fe, NM Collection.
Authenticity Guaranteed
