Ancient Lost-Wax Cast Bronze Arrowhead | Socketed Leaf Shape | 4.5 cm

Description

This 4.5 cm bronze arrowhead is a faithful reproduction of weapons carried across the ancient Near East during the pivotal centuries bridging the Bronze and Iron Ages. Its leaf-shaped blade with a pronounced midrib gave excellent piercing ability, while the hooked socket ensured a secure fit on wooden shafts, vital for both battlefield and hunting.

Arrowheads of this type have been uncovered at sites linked to the Assyrian Empire, Phoenician trade centers, and early Persian campaigns. They reflect the military innovation and craftsmanship of societies that mastered large-scale bronze metallurgy and forged empires through disciplined infantry and ranged warfare.
