Bronze Age Bronze Spear Head - 157 mm (No reserve price)

This Bronze Age bronze spearhead, measuring 157 mm, is a quintessential example of early metal weaponry. Spearheads were vital tools for hunting and warfare from prehistory through later antiquity. The Bronze Age, spanning roughly 3300 to 1200 BCE depending on the region, saw significant advances in metallurgy, including the widespread use of bronze—a copper and tin alloy—enabling stronger, sharper, and more durable weapons than their stone predecessors. A spearhead of this length suggests use either as a thrusting or throwing weapon. Such artifacts inform us about the martial practices, technological progress, and societal organization of Bronze Age cultures. Often prized by archaeologists and collectors, spearheads illustrate the transition from Neolithic to more complex societies where metals played a central role.
