Late 2nd-1st millennium B.C. A bronze dagger blade with prominently curved guard extending out from the ricasso of the blade, partly framing the hilt, thick midrib extending slightly above the ricasso. See Muscarella, O.W., Bronze and Iron Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1988, pp.99-100, for similar. 275 grams, 37 cm (14 1/2 in.). Acquired 1980-2015. Ex Abelita family collection. The hilt of such swords was made separately, and unfortunately is nearly always missing from the archaeological records. Similar daggers had a northern Iranian background and excavated examples have been recorded from the South Caspian Area from Tomadjan and Ghalekuti.
