A superb, well preserved ancient Near Eastern Bronze Age battle sword, dating to approximately 1200 - 800 B.C. This magnificent ancient weapon has a long, elegant, triangular blade, prominent central mid rib and sturdy, hilt and pommel, recessed to hold bone or wooden inlays in antiquity, now long since perished. The piece is not deformed, in contrast to the majority of weapons of this type now available on the market.
