Western Asiatic/Aegan, Ca. 1200 - 700 BC.A bronze spearhead with a triangular-shaped blade is accentuated by a prominent midrib, adding both beauty and strength to the design. The shoulders extend downwards to a pronounced shaft, leading to a long tapering tang for easy attachment to a pole. During the Bronze Age, weaponry was an essential part of life, used not only for defense but also for hunting and other utilitarian purposes. The spear was one of the most commonly used weapons, and its design evolved over time to become more effective and deadly. The spearhead's sharp, pointed tip was ideal for piercing armor or delivering a fatal blow to an opponent. The pronounced shaft and tapering tang allowed for quick and easy attachment to a pole, making the spear a versatile weapon that could be used in both open and closed spaces. Cf. Muscarella, O. W. (1988). Bronze and Iron: Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, p.290.Size: L:160mm / W:23mm ; 20gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.

Fell 6000-5000 years B.P. A nickel-iron meteorite (IAB). 22.2 grams, 28 mm (1 1/8 in.). From a Lincolnshire, UK, collection. Property of a Cambridgeshire, UK, gentleman.A crater field of roughly 26 craters was found in the vicinity of this crater, which is estimated to date to 4-5 thousand years BP. The age of the meteorite itself is thought to be c.4.5 billion years, formed as part of the development of this solar system. The largest two fragments, the 30.8 ton Gancedo and 28.8 ton El Chaco, are among the heaviest meteorite masses ever recovered on Earth. In 1576, the governor of a province in Northern Argentina commissioned the military to search for a large mass of iron, which it was believed the local people claimed had fallen from the sky and which they used for their weapon production. The expedition discovered a large mass of metal which was assumed to be an iron mine and brought back a few samples, which were described as being of unusual purity. Following the legends, in 1774 Don Bartolomé Francisco de Maguna rediscovered the iron mass. He himself did not believe that the stone had fallen from the sky and assumed that it had formed by a volcanic eruption. However, he sent the samples to the Royal Society of London. In 1990 it became protected by law. [No Reserve]

Acquired in the 1970s. From the private collection of a retired East Anglian teacher.This fragment of Rhodian Amphora carries the Eponym official 'Nikasagoras', referring to the Eponym Officer of Rhodes of the year in which the amphora was produced and stamped. He is a well known eponym, also attested by an inscription. His stamps are individualised in comparison to those of the other two namesakes, Nikasagoras the Elder (circa 240 B.C.) and Nikasagoras 1 (circa 172–171 B.C.). These officers seem to have been those of the annually chosen priests of Helios who were the dating authorities of the Rhodian state. [No Reserve]
