All auctions / Ethnographical / Iron Age Steel and Bronze Spearhead, Central Asia
Asia, Iron Age culture. A leaf-shaped spearhead forged from carbon steel, with a broad blade tapering to a point and a central ridge. Below the blade is a cast leaded bronze collar, with a green mineral patina, which anchored the head to its haft and reinforced the join. The iron tang extends beyond the collar, with a heavily encrusted, corroded surface consistent with long burial. The combination of steel blade and bronze fitting reflects a metallurgical tradition suited to weapons of this type, with the form shaped by functional requirements of thrust and penetration.
