Here you find a beautiful ancient Luristan bronze spiked mace head. In tact with lovely green patina. Has eight spikes surrounding the main body. A rope pattern is present on the top and bottom of the macehead. "A mace in one of the most well known Luristan styles. Luristan is a region in the central Zagros mountains in Eastern Iran well known for its early artistic bronzes. However, the full history of the region is little known and many so-called Luristan items actually originate in a wider area of Eastern Iran and neighbouring regions." Dates to approx 1200BC and measures 7.5cm in diameter. See: Mahboubian, “Art of Ancient Iran” (1997) Metal analysis completed by Dr. Reiderer (separate certificate included however not shown).
