Ancient Lost Wax Cast Bronze Arrowhead 4.5 cm Socketed Leaf Shape

This 4.5 cm Ancient Near Eastern bronze arrowhead is a faithful reproduction of the kind used by warriors and hunters across Mesopotamia, Persia, and the Levant during the transitional centuries between the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages. Characterized by its elegant leaf blade and distinctive rear hook, this form ensured a strong and stable fit on wooden shafts—crucial for high-impact strikes or rapid volleys.

Cast using the traditional lost-wax method, every curve and contour reflects the time-honored techniques used by metalworkers in ancient empires. This type of arrowhead has been excavated from sites tied to Assyrian armies, Phoenician outposts, and Achaemenid Persian campaigns, representing a region that pioneered large-scale bronze warfare.

Whether you’re curating a museum-grade collection, crafting historical props, or simply honoring the legacy of early empires, this arrowhead embodies the power and refinement of ancient Near Eastern martial culture.
