Miniature full-handled decorated Luristan Dagger from Bronze Age Persia, c. 1200 -800 BC. This fantastic weapon has survived in superb condition - a real historical momento! It has a very attractive broad blade with a robust supportive mid-rib and a nice decorated perforated handle. This is one of the best examples of its type that I have ever seen; very well balanced and aerodynamic. Gorgeous blue-green azurite crystalized patina and age related encrustation; battle scarred. ex-Old English collection via auction house, UK. Said to have been found in Syria pre 1960. 155 mm long. #617: $375

MASSIVE Luristan bronze butt-spike from a spear. This would have been attached to the back end of a spear, to act as a counterweight, able to be stuck into the ground to brace against an enemy attack. If the spear was damaged, this could have been turned around and used as a"last line of defense" weapon in hand-to-hand combat. It measures over 13 1/2 inches long, with square-shaped body that tapers to a round stem with one fastening-rivet hole. Nice olive-green patina. A very unusual piece... I've never come across anything quite like it. Lots of spearheads on the market but very rarely do these butt-spikes come to light. #62140: $499

 Rare & Important Ancient Persian Luristan Mini-sword! 1200 BC
A fine and possibly unique Persian small scale sword, of votive or ceremonial function. This remarkable artifact is an accurate miniature version of a typical Luristan sword.
The piece is too delicate and small to have been used as a combat weapon and must therefore have been made purely for ceremonial purposes, either as a grave-good or as a votive gift to a god. The hilt consists of a double-eared pommel, long grip and bilateral flanges for securing the wooden inserts. The blade is of typical form and the patina is an attractive olive-green. Possible restoration at the base of the blade. Otherwise intact and unrestored. Excellent overall condition for a genuine ancient piece. Provenance: Ex. London Private Collection and acquired on the London Art market in the 1970's. 10 inches long. #0300: $599
