Rare Ancient Persian 'Lozenge Shaped' Arrowhead
Copper alloy, 12.07 grams, 65.76 mm. 1st Millennium B.C. A quality Luristan type arrowhead with a lozenge shaped blade and a pronounced mid-rib that runs the length of the blade and terminates at the prominent round collar with a short tang which would have kept the arrowhead attached to the wooden shaft. Ref: No similar examples in A Fine Collection of Ancient and Medieval Arrowhead and Crossbow Bolts by Alan Cherry. Very Fine condition.
