Ancient North-Western Asiatic Bronze Dagger Blade Bronze Age 1500 -1200 B.C.

This exceptional artifact is a one-piece dagger blade made of bronze, originating from the North-Western part of Asia during the Ancient Bronze Age, which existed from 1500 to 1200 B.C. The blade is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, displaying a tapering double-edged structure with a pronounced central rib. The rib, which runs down the center of the blade, would have added strength to the weapon. The blade also has a short tang, which is a protruding part of the blade that would have been used to attach a handle. The tang has a rivet hole, which would have enabled the handle to be securely fastened to the blade. This stunning piece of history is a testament to the skills and artistry of ancient craftsmen, who created functional weapons that were also works of art.
