Ca. 1200-700 BC. Western Asiatic. A fine bronze dagger with a slender blade and a concave handle that would have been inset with stone, bone or ivory. Good condition; custom-made stand included.

Swords, spears, and arrows were important symbols of war in Greek Bronze Age societies and served as powerful reminders that authority rested in the hands of those who could earn it.
