A Beautiful Wide Bronze Sword

This Persian sword is a remarkable example of the technology and design that went into crafting an ancient piece of weaponry. The dark hue of this sword lends it an austere weight, while the thick ribs and large crescent of the hilt are an indication of the strength required to wield such a heavy object. The broad blade seems to be made not for bludgeoning as much as cutting, with the raised ridge that runs along its length adding force to its blows.

This is a piece that makes a forceful statement in any collection, especially for collectors looking for a simpler alternative to the overwrought designs of later civilizations. The ancient Persians were known for their battle prowess, and this weapon is a fine example as to the tools ancient warriors had at their disposal. This sword has been wonderfully restored and displays a brilliant luster that still gleams along its long blade.

Banded Alabaster Egyptian Mace Head
Original price was: $2,000.00.Current price is: $1,850.00.

Description

This commanding alabaster mace head exemplifies the artistry and technical skill of Egyptian stone‑workers of the Middle Bronze Age. Crafted from fine, dense alabaster, the piece presents a rounded, slightly pear‑shaped mass terminating in a short, tapering socket for hafting; its surfaces are smoothly finished to reveal the stone’s subtle veining and a soft, satin-like luster. Measuring approximately [dimensions available on request], it is a compact yet powerfully rendered implement.

The most striking feature of the mace head is its sculptural silhouette and the careful modulation of form between the striking face and the haft socket, which together create a balanced, purposeful object. The workmanship demonstrates mastery of stone‑shaping techniques, with precise contouring and evidence of controlled tool work around the socket and perimeter. Minor surface abrasions and faint impact marks may be present, consistent with functional use, while surviving tool marks are minimal and secondary to the overall polished presentation.

This object likely served both practical and symbolic roles: employed as a percussive weapon in conflict or as a status emblem and ceremonial object signaling authority and power. The selection of alabaster—a prized material—speaks to the prominence of its owner and the value attributed to finely

Impressive Luristan Bronze Sword

This highly intricate and impressive sword most likely belonged to a high-ranking official or member of society. Luristan, a mountainous region, famous for its bronze-smiths, encouraged a voracious appetite for luxury items, particularly weaponry. The tapering blade modelled with a single, central broad rib, runs from the hilt to the tip. The half-oval shape of the guard fits smoothly over the blade, and attaches it to the smoothly undulating form of the hilt; two ibexes in silver attached to the blade, suited for comfortable use in the hand. The pommel is comprised of a flat disc, with a small rounded buttress at the central point. The deep green patina of the bronze makes this sword particularly striking, and the smoothness of the material highlights its excellent state of preservation.
