    BRONZE DAGGER
    Luristan, 900 - 700 BC
    The Luristan culture is known for their beautiful and intricate bronze work as well as their fighting prowess. It is therefore no surprise that their weaponry would be high quality and functional while still maintaining some of the characteristic Luristan charm. This example has a narrow, long blade which connects to a flat hilt with two curved indents and raised geometric designs. The pommel is bifurcated with each side taking the shape of a flattened semicircle, and is generally referred to as either a “winged” or “ear shaped” pommel. Chasing on the interior and a raised dot at the base  of each semicircle
    give additional visual interest. It is hard to know if this pommel design was for the benefit of form or function, although both were probably considered. In good condition.
