Bronze Socketed Arrowhead – Leaf-Shaped Ancient Reproduction, Lost-Wax Cast

Step back into the Bronze Age with this faithfully reproduced socketed bronze arrowhead, a weapon design used across Europe, the Near East, and Asia from around 2000 BCE to 500 BCE.

Crafted in the leaf-shaped style, this arrowhead features a raised central rib for added strength and piercing power, making it ideal for hunting and combat in its time. The socketed base allowed warriors and hunters to securely mount the head onto a wooden shaft, binding it with resin, sinew, or rawhide for dependable use.

Arrowheads like this were widespread in Greek, Celtic, and Near Eastern cultures, and while iron gradually replaced bronze during the early medieval period, bronze examples continued to appear in ceremonial, symbolic, and burial contexts. More than just weapons, they were tokens of status, protection, and identity for the warriors who carried them.

This reproduction is lost-wax cast from solid bronze, a method that ensures both strength and fine detail, much like ancient originals. Its antique finish gives it the timeworn authenticity that appeals to reenactors, collectors, and enthusiasts of ancient warfare.

Care Instructions:

• Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth after handling

• Store in a dry place to prevent oxidation

• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning that could dull the antique finish

• Bronze naturally develops a patina over time, enhancing its historic look

Notes:

• Each arrowhead is individually lost-wax cast, so minor variations in tone, size, and surface are natural and add to its authenticity
