This is a bronze, lugged axe or chisel. It dates to circa 1500 BC or earlier and is in spectacular condition. It appears to have been cast flat and ground only on one side as was common with these early pieces. It weighs 184 grams and measures just over 15 cm in length.

This is a very nice bronze dagger or spear blade from the ancient near East - probably from Northern Iran circa 1200 BC or earlier. It has a thin, flat blade with a reinforced midrib. It has a perforation in the tang which is covered by the patina. It also has some slight bending in the blade which is why I have listed it for such a low price. It does not appear to be damaged or repaired in any other way. It measures roughly 23 cm in length and weighs 84 grams.
