I know very little about bronze items and the people that used them. They seem to present a good value with relatively low cost so I decided to try to pick up a piece. I got this lance head from the recent Czerny's auction. It was described as central European 1000-800 BC. Can anyone tell me if the time frame and location would be correct? I am impressed with the quality of craftsmanship for such an old item. The blades are actually quite sharp considering the age. It has what appears to be a battle mark on one blade. Would this likely be a hunting item, weapon, or both? What group of people would it have belonged to? What type of wooden haft would it have been attached to?
Thanks, Casey http://www.czernys.com/auctions_lot....=55220&asta=50 |
