Late 2nd-early 1st millennium BC. A group of arrowheads comprising: six large bronze elongated triangular arrowheads with rounded or angular raised midrib, sharp central groove, barbed shoulders and convex sides; two foliate heads and prominent midrib extending to the tang, the midrib decorated with triangles; a barbed head with long socketted shaft. See Muscarella, O.W., Bronze and Iron Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1988, no.414, for a similar leaf-shaped arrowhead; cf. Khorasani, M.M., Arms and Armour from Iran. The Bronze Age to the End of the Qajar Period, Tübingen, 2006, item 467, for the other main type. 267 grams total, 9.2-15.2cm (3 1/2 - 6"). Ex Abelita family collection, 1980-2015. Six of these arrowheads seem to belong to the category of triangular heads with rounded or triangular midrib, but subtype C, i.e. large triangular arrowheads with barbed shoulders. Interestingly, one shows the same decorative pattern with triangles incised on the foliate blade published by Muscarella (1988, p.414"). [10] Condition Report Fine condition.
