IT APPEARS TO BE A SPEAR OR LANCE POINT MADE OF BRONZE. THE BRONZE AGE IN THE NEAR EAST IS DEVIDED INTO EARLY 3500 TO 2000 BC. MIDDLE 2000 TO 1600 BC, AND LATE 1600 TO 1200 BC.

UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO IDENTIFY YOUR EXAMPLE AS TO WHERE ITS FROM OR WHAT PERIOD, YOU CAN USE GOOGLE ON BRONZE AGE FOR MORE INFO. IT IS ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL A WELL MADE BRONZE REPLICA FROM A OLD ORIGINAL UNLESS THERE IS A LOT OF PROVENANCE OR YOU FIND IT YOURSELF. THERE ARE MORE REPLICAS AROUND ESPECIALLY IN CHINESE AND LURISTAN ITEMS. NICE LOOKING SPEAR EITHER WAY.
